AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Austin voters soundly rejected Austin's tax rate election proposition, Proposition Q, Tuesday. It means the city's portion of your property tax bill will go up by roughly $100 more a year instead of $300 more annually (that's for the average Austin homeowner with a house valued at just under $500,000).

The proposition would have brought roughly $110 million a year to the city to pay for services like additional homelessness response, public health and safety programs and parks maintenance.

Voters reject the tax hike: So what happens now?
