Heads up, taxpayers and parents: We’ve audited the upcoming HARLINGEN CISD agenda. There are 1 items targeting parental consent and taxpayer funds that need your immediate attention before the gavel falls.

⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

Vote on 2026 Property Tax Rate

📅 September 28, 2026

The board is voting to set the 2026 property tax rate at $0.9427 per $100 valuation. The agenda provides no information on how this rate compares to the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which is the rate that would keep tax bills flat on average amid rising property values.

Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Harlingen CISD Board of Trustees (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask: ‘Before voting on Item 3.A, please state for the public record how the proposed tax rate of $0.9427 compares to the no-new-revenue rate. Will this rate increase the tax levy on the average homeowner?’
