What you need to know
If approved, the voter approval tax rate election will generate $2.4 million in revenue, which will be prioritized toward staff salaries for recruitment and retention, in addition to safety and security expenses, per district documents.
The district last called a tax rate election in 2010, where it maximized its maintenance and operations rate until state legislation in 2019 decreased the rate by $0.0317, according to the Texas Education Agency. The state requires voters to add those cents back into the tax rate, paving the way for CISD’s 2024 VATRE, which trustees called for Aug. 19.
Without the VATRE, the FY 2024-25 maintenance and operations rate would be $0.7552. If the VATRE passes, that rate would increase by $0.0317 to $0.7869. Both represent a decrease from the FY 2023-24 total and M&O rates, but residents could still see higher tax bills this year due to a 10.3% increase in property values, according to district documents.
The average single-family residence’s taxable value within district boundaries rose from $459,210 in FY 2023-24 to $513,603 in FY 2024-25, according to district documents. This means the average tax bill will be $195 greater than last year without the VATRE and, should the VATRE pass Nov. 5, the bill would increase an additional $163 for a total of $358.
What else?
In early voting from Oct. 21 to Nov. 1 there were around 633,142 ballots cast across Dallas County or around 24% of voters.
