COLLIN COLLEGE BOND PROPOSITION


Collin College has called a $600 million bond election for May 6 to complete projects in its long-range master plan.

If voters approve the bond, the proceeds would go toward construction of six facilities: a campus in Wylie; educational centers in Celina and Farmersville; a public safety training center in McKinney; a workforce/university IT center of excellence on the Preston Ridge campus in Frisco; and a technical training center in Allen. It would also help fund improvements and renovations to existing buildings.

“The county is projected to double in population by 2030 and triple by 2040. I can tell you that our current footprint will not be able to handle that growth,” Collin College President Neil Matkin said.

College officials said they expect the financial impact to the tax rate to be minimal.

Ken Lynn, Collin College chief financial officer, said when the bonds are issued in 2024, three scenarios could affect the tax rate. The first would decrease the tax rate by one cent. The second would decrease the tax rate by 3/10 of 1 cent and the third would increase the tax rate by 1.3 cents.

Collin College’s current tax rate is 8.122 cents per $100 of property valuation. It is the lowest tax rate in Collin County and the second-lowest tax rate out of 50 community college districts in Texas, according to the Texas Comptroller’s office.
