Final Vote on Your School Property Tax Bill
| 📅 Public Hearing and Vote on August 25, 2026 |
The Bells ISD Board is holding a public hearing and then will immediately vote to adopt the 2026-2027 budget and property tax rate. This is the final opportunity for taxpayers to speak before the new rate is locked in. The agenda does not disclose the proposed rate or compare it to the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which is the rate that would prevent a tax increase on existing properties. Taxpayers must attend to find out if their tax bills are about to go up.
Response
ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING: This is the meeting that determines your school property tax bill. Sign up for public comment and ask the board: ‘What is the no-new-revenue tax rate, and what is the proposed rate you are voting on tonight? I urge you to adopt the no-new-revenue rate to protect homeowners.’ Since specific contacts are not listed, call the district office to confirm meeting details and board member contact information.
💰 Impact: Potential tax increase if the board adopts a rate higher than the no-new-revenue rate.
