Sweeny Community Hospital Lowers Tax Rate by 47%
On September 16, 2025 following a public hearing, the Sweeny Community Hospital Board approved a new tax rate of .195748, which is less than the No New Revenue Tax Rate. The new tax rate is a reduction from the 2024 tax rate of 0.368068, which will result in a decrease of 46.82% of taxes collected by the hospital district. This is the fourth consecutive tax reduction year over year.
“We are very excited to be in our brand new, state-of-the-art facility and still have the ability to cut the tax rate by a large amount. We are looking forward to expanding services and the success it will bring to this community.” says Kelly Park, CEO of Sweeny Community Hospital.
