Board approves proposed 2020 tax rate public notice
Northwest ISD trustees unanimously voted to hold a public meeting to discuss the proposed 2020 tax rate in order to comply with the Texas Education Code.
The Board of Trustees is completing the Budget/Tax Rate Adoption phase of the budget process as outlined on the budget calendar for the 2020-2021 year. The Board of Trustees is scheduled to adopt the tax rate at the August 2020 regular meeting.
With the passage of House Bill 3, school districts will no longer set their own M&O tax rates. This part of the district’s tax rate will be computed by the Texas Education Agency based upon tax compression calculations. These calculations are based upon the district’s property value growth vs. the State’s average.
Maintenance & Operations (M&O) Tax Rate $1.08
Interest & Sinking (I&S) Tax Rate $0.45
Total Tax Rate $1.53
The bond proposal will be presented to voters as four separate propositions (Proposition A, B, C, D), as now required by law. The VATRE will appear on the ballot as Proposition E. Early Voting is October 13-30, and Election Day is November 3, 2020.
