The bond—which, if approved to be called, will show up on the November ballot—includes a tax rate increase of $0.13 per $100 valuation of a home for fiscal year 2026-27. This increase translates to an estimated $48.75 per month for homeowners with a taxable value of $450,000, Community Impact previously reported.
This tax rate increase will be updated when the 2025 taxable values are released by the appraisal districts, according to district documents.
