Taxes / Budget Kennedale’s tax burden is a legitimate concern, and residents should not simply be expected to accept high taxes as inevitable. However, meaningful relief does not come from short-term adjustments to the tax rate alone; it comes from addressing the underlying reasons our rate has historically remained high. For many years, Kennedale relied heavily on residential property taxes because the city lacked sufficient commercial and economic diversification to share the cost of services. Infrastructure / Transportation The most important issue facing Kennedale today is managing growth in a way that strengthens our financial future while preserving the character and trust that define our community. Many concerns residents raise — including property taxes, infrastructure, and development — are connected outcomes of how a city plans, communicates, and executes long-term decisions. When growth feels unpredictable or poorly communicated, uncertainty increases and trust declines. Taxes / Budget Residents should not accept high taxes as permanent, but meaningful relief requires patience, consistency, and strategic planning. Tax rates are often a symptom, while economic structure is the cause. By continuing to support responsible growth, infrastructure improvements, and predictable governance, Kennedale can build a stronger financial foundation that allows future councils to reduce the burden on residents while maintaining essential services.
