FY2027 Plan of Work
The SEDC's Fiscal Year 2027 Plan of Work lays out how the corporation intends to spend its effort — and money — on attracting and keeping businesses next year. No outcome is on record.

2026-27 Budgets and Tax Rate Adoption
The appraisal district's freeze-ceiling errors didn't break the City's tax rate math, but House Bill 9 cost Seguin about $67 million in taxable value and 100% disabled-veteran exemptions have grown 400% since 2020.
