Bee Cave Brief: October 2025

A new season is here, and Bee Cave is buzzing with fall fun!🍂

Sure, there’s the ACL Music Festival, UT football games, and Taylor Swift’s latest album release—but our city has its own traditions too: the Rolling Sculpture Car Show, Trunk or Treat, and the Haunted Trail.

Keep reading for the lowdown on all things Bee Cave this October.

Library Bond Election

Did you know the library is on the ballot? That’s right, the city is proposing a new home for the Bee Cave Public Library. Voters will decide on two measures.

Proposition A – authorizes the city to build the new library on city-owned land known as the Skaggs Property which is located on Bee Cave Parkway across from the Ladera neighborhood.

Proposition B – authorizes the city to issue $19.9 million in a general obligation bond to pay for the new library. If the bond passes, the average Bee Cave property bill will increase $114 per year.

The city is hosting a Library Town Hall on Thur. October 9 at 6pm at Bee Cave City Hall. Come be the first to see the new building design.

A New Budget

The new budget has gone into effect, and the property rate is staying the same, 2 cents for $100 of valuation. That’s the lowest rate in the region and is possible because of Bee Cave’s robust sales tax revenue.

The 2026 budget plans for $13.8 million in revenue and $11.4 million in expenses from the general fund.

Some budget highlights include the first payment for the Public Safety Facility that will be shared with Lake Travis Fire Rescue, new radios for Bee Cave Police, new sidewalks and pavement repairs on Bee Cave Parkway, and a city website to make it easier for residents to find information.

Scenic City

Our city is surrounded by rolling hills, peaceful trails, and breathtaking vistas that remind us how special it is to live here. The Scenic City Contest is about celebrating and protecting that natural beauty.
