WARNING (LEVEL 7)
District Seeks Voter Approval for Tax Hike
📅 October 22, 2026
Groom ISD is holding a public meeting to discuss a Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE). This election, if successful, would authorize the district to raise its maintenance and operations property tax rate above the state-mandated cap, resulting in a higher tax bill for property owners.
Response

ATTEND THE PUBLIC MEETING: This is the key opportunity to question the board about the proposed tax increase before it goes on the ballot. Contact the Groom ISD board and ask: ‘What specific programs will be cut if the VATRE fails, and how has the district worked to cut costs before asking taxpayers for more money?’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes
