Final Vote on Budget and Property Tax Rate
| 📅 Vote Scheduled August 26, 2026 |
The Granger ISD Board is scheduled to adopt the 2026-2027 budget and set the two key property tax rates (M&O and I&S) that determine the school tax bill for every homeowner. The agenda does not state what the proposed rates are or how they compare to the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate. A vote for a rate above the no-new-revenue rate is an automatic tax increase for most taxpayers due to rising property values, regardless of how the rate itself is described.
Response
SHOW UP & SPEAK UP: This is the final vote on your school property tax bill. Attend the meeting and sign up for public comment. Before the meeting, contact the Granger ISD administration office and demand they publish the full proposed budget and a clear comparison of the proposed tax rate against the no-new-revenue rate. Ask board members to state publicly whether they are voting for a tax increase.
💰 Impact: Potential property tax increase if the adopted rate exceeds the no-new-revenue rate.
