Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming LEANDER ISD agenda and found 1 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
✅ Wins for Taxpayers
Good moves worth showing up to support so they stick.
Major Win (LEVEL 8)
Voters Defeat Tax Hike, Forcing Rate Reduction
📅 November 12, 2026
After voters rejected a proposed tax increase in the November 3rd Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE), the Leander ISD board is now legally required to adopt a lower property tax rate. The new rate of $1.0869 is below the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, meaning the district will collect less tax revenue from the same properties as last year. This is a direct result of taxpayer action at the ballot box.
How to Lock It In

SECURE THE WIN: Attend the meeting to thank the Board for respecting the will of the voters on Item 4.D. This puts all members on record acknowledging the election outcome and sets a precedent that taxpayers are watching.
