πŸš’ Proactive Planning. Stronger Partnerships. Safer Response.

Beginning October 1, the Justin Fire Department will begin using a new emergency response platform called First Due, an investment that will enhance our ability to respond quickly, safely, and effectively when emergencies occur.

First Due combines computer aided dispatch, incident reporting, scheduling, district and hydrant mapping, and pre-fire planning into one comprehensive system.

As part of this proactive initiative, JFD crews have begun training and visiting businesses throughout Justin to develop pre-fire plans. These plans document important building features such as exits, utility shutoffs, fire protection systems, and other critical information that can help firefighters make informed decisions during an emergency.

These visits are more than a training opportunity. They are a chance to build relationships with our local business community, answer questions, and become familiar with each facility before an emergency ever happens. This proactive approach benefits everyone by helping reduce response times, improving firefighter safety, and better protecting lives and property.

If you see our firefighters at your business over the coming weeks, please take a moment to say hello. We appreciate your partnership as we continue working together to keep Justin safe.

🏑 Understanding Your Property Tax Bill

As we continue our City Budget Education Series, one of the most common questions we hear is: "Where do my property taxes go?"
Many residents are surprised to learn that the City of Justin receives only a portion of the total property tax bill. Property taxes are distributed among several taxing entities that each provide different services to our community.

πŸ“Š Example Property Tax Bill Breakdown
(Does not include exemptions or special utility districts)

β€’ Northwest ISD: 1.084100 tax rate (approximately 56% of the total bill)
β€’ City of Justin: 0.670000 tax rate (approximately 34.5% of the total bill)
β€’ Denton County: 0.185938 tax rate (approximately 9.5% of the total bill)
β€’ Total Tax Rate: 1.940038

What does this mean?
🏫 About 56’ of every property tax dollar supports Northwest ISD schools and educational programs.
πŸ™οΈ About 35Β’ of every property tax dollar supports City services such as police, fire protection, streets, parks, library services, planning, and administration.
πŸ›οΈ About 9Β’ of every property tax dollar supports Denton County services, including courts, public records, road and bridge maintenance, and other county operations.

πŸ” Want to estimate your property taxes?
Denton County offers an online Property Tax Estimator that allows residents to calculate estimated property taxes based on property value and applicable tax rates: https://taxweb.dentoncounty.gov/TaxEstimator

Understanding where your tax dollars go helps provide a clearer picture of how local services are funded and how each taxing entity plays a role in serving our community.

Because when you pay your property taxes, you're not just paying a bill. You're helping fund the services, infrastructure, and quality of life that make Justin everything a hometown should be.

πŸ’§ Help Us Conserve Water

The City of Justin is currently under Stage 1 Water Restrictions, and we need your help to avoid moving to more restrictive conservation measures.

As summer temperatures rise, so does water demand. Please follow your assigned landscape watering schedule, water only during overnight or early morning hours when evaporation is lowest, and limit all nonessential water use whenever possible.

Every gallon saved helps protect our community’s water supply and ensures we have the resources needed throughout the hottest months of the year.

For more information about Stage 1 Water Restrictions, including the watering schedule and conservation requirements, please click the link below.

Thank you for doing your part to conserve water and help keep Justin Everything a Hometown Should Be.

Over the next several weeks, we'll be sharing information to help residents better understand how the City budget is developed, how public funds are invested, and how those dollars support the services you rely on every day.

The City budget is much more than numbers on a page. It is the City's annual financial and operational plan that guides investments in public safety, infrastructure, utilities, parks, staffing, and other essential services. Developing the budget requires months of planning and collaboration between City Council and staff to ensure community priorities are aligned with available resources.
