Public Hearing to Set Your Property Tax Bill

📅 August 24, 2026

The Bishop CISD Board is holding its official public hearings on the 2026-2027 school budget and property tax rates. This is the primary opportunity for taxpayers to see the district’s spending plan and speak out before a final tax rate is adopted. The key question is whether the board will adopt the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which keeps the tax levy stable, or approve a higher rate that increases the overall tax burden on homeowners and businesses.

Response

SHOW UP AND SPEAK: This is the official public hearing on the school budget and your property tax rate. Attend the meeting on August 24th to demand the board adopt the ‘no-new-revenue’ tax rate and prevent an increase in your tax bill. Taxpayers must make their voices heard before the final vote. Contact the district office to confirm how to sign up for public comment.

💰 Impact: Potential tax increase above the no-new-revenue rate.
