Fate, TX. – August 13, 2024 — The Fate City Council has called a November 5th, 2024, election to ask
voters to consider a $20 million bond proposition for a Public Safety project.
Project details:
- New Police Building: A facility near City Hall will be constructed to serve as the central hub for
our police department. This new building will include administrative offices, Criminal
Investigative Division offices and interview spaces, training rooms, fitness facility and locker
rooms, storage, and evidence storage. - Fire Station Remodel: The Central Fire Station will be renovated, and a city-owned building
located on the south side of the city will be converted to a secondary fire station. - New Apparatus and Equipment: The bond will fund the acquisition of a new ladder truck and
equipment.
If approved by the voters and based on current assumptions, there will be a $0.0433 per $100 per
property value or approximately $161 increase on average Fate residents’ annual property tax bills,
beginning for the tax bills to be received in the Fall of 2026.
