Sugar Land City Council called a $350 million bond election for Nov. 5 to address public safety, streets, mobility and sidewalks, drainage, municipal facilities, and the planned animal shelter.

City Council’s vote during a special meeting on Aug. 15 provides voters a choice to consider funding up to $350 million for proposed capital projects over the next five to seven years, which equates to approximately $300 million in project costs in 2024 dollars. If voters approve the projects, the bonds will require a tax rate increase of no more than 5 cents, spread out over the next five to seven years. This equates to an incremental monthly cost to the average homeowner of approximately $5 each year – or about $20 per month by 2030, excluding property revaluation. All projects are anticipated to be completed or under construction in the next five to seven years.

Bond projects were identified through years of public feedback including the most recent Citizen Satisfaction Survey, sentiment surveys and community meetings - as well as various master plans and City Council input. 

Comprehensive community engagement and education will be conducted prior to the election. This will take place at community meetings, HOA meetings and special events. For more information including a complete project listing, visit www.sugarlandtx.gov/SLBond2024.
