Clear Creek ISD’s board of trustees will consider the district’s budget for fiscal year 2025-26 at its Aug. 25 meeting.

As of its last budget discussion Aug. 11, the district projected a $12.5 million shortfall with a tax rate of $0.9690 per $100 valuation of a home—the same tax rate as FY 2024-25.

What you need to know

As of Aug. 11, the district is projecting $429.3 million in expenses and $414.7 million in revenue, along with $2.1 million in other sources, landing the projected shortfall at $12.5 million, according to district budget documents.
CCISD’s Chief Financial Officer Alice Benzaia said the budget projections presented at the Aug. 11 workshop will be the proposed budget that will be considered for adoption by the board.

Also of note


At the projected tax rate of $0.9690 per $100 valuation, a home with an average market value of $406,500 would owe about $2,140 in taxes, according to district documents.

This is about a $350 decrease from last year’s $2,490 tax bill. However, that figure doesn’t account for changes in home values, as last year’s taxes were based on an average market value of about $397,000, according to district documents.
Next steps

The board will meet to consider the budget at 6 p.m. Aug. 25 at the district’s Education Support Center, located at 2425 E. Main St., League City.

The board will consider the tax rate at its Sept. 22 meeting.
