Executive Director of Finance and Operations Steve Brown presented the district's official budget that included the General Fund, Food Service Fund, and Debt Service Fund. The 2016-2017 fiscal year for NBISD begins July 1, 2016. Additionally, he presented the
proposed tax rate of $1.33910 per $100 property valuation for the 2016 tax year.
The proposed tax rate includes a $1.01330 for Maintenance and Operation (M&O) and $0.32580 for Interest and Sinking (I&S)

An NBISD homeowner will pay an average of $2,648.51 in annual taxes on a home valued at $226,435 - the average market value of residences in NBISD. The official order adopting the tax rate will be voted on during the August 15 board meeting.
