El Paso Tax Watch: Every Dollar, Sourced
A local watchdog tracks El Paso city and county finances with source-linked figures, tax tools, and budget accountability pages.
- For
- El Paso taxpayers and local reporters
- Worth noticing
- Its calculator subtracts entered exemptions before applying adopted rates; the site says the city does not publish vendor payment registers.
Field notes
The calculator applies FY2026-27 adopted rates to the entered home value after subtracting the exemption amount. Its spending clock annualizes city and county figures across 365 days, and the page explicitly notes that real spending is lumpy. The homepage also contrasts public records practices: it says the county publishes raw accounts-payable registers, while the city does not. Recent update notes include refreshed Comptroller bond records and verified adopted tax rates.
