Our new sanitation collection provider, GFL Environmental Services, has begun to change out trash receptacles. For commercial dumpster services, green dumpsters will replace the blue Republic dumpsters. The new carts for residential services will be black, with recycling carts featuring yellow lids. Container servicing will transition from Republic to GFL on April 1st.

When you receive your new recycling and/or trash cart(s) from GFL, you may find it warped. This is due to how tightly they are packed in the trucks for shipping. To correct this issue, please set your cart in a sunny area with the lid closed. The sun will warm the plastic cart and lid and reset it to the proper shape.

Tax Payments / Property Taxes

Tax bills are mailed at the beginning of each November to owners of property within the Murray City Limits. The tax bill due is calculated by the City using the Property Value Administration (PVA) office's assessed dollar value of the property. There are three components to the tax bill: Police and Fire, School Tax and General Fund. General Fund and Police and Fire are set annually by the City Council. The school tax rate is set annually by the Murray Independent School District. The City collects the school tax but does not set the rate. See the table below for current and past year's tax rate percentages.
