⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

Tax Rate ‘Cut’ Hides $254 Property Tax Hike

📅 Public Hearing August 27, 2026

Maypearl ISD is presenting its proposed 2026-2027 budget and tax rate. While the district is advertising a lower tax rate (from $0.9403 to $0.9134), rising property values mean the tax bill for the median-valued home will increase by $254, from $2,492 to $2,746. This is a tax increase, not a tax cut, as the total amount of money (the levy) collected by the district is growing.

Response

ATTEND THE PUBLIC HEARING: Show up on August 27th and sign up to speak. Ask the board members directly: ‘Are you voting for a tax rate that increases the total amount of money you collect from taxpayers?’ Demand the board adopt the No-New-Revenue tax rate, which would prevent the average tax bill from increasing. Contact the Maypearl ISD administration to find board member emails and tell them to vote for the No-New-Revenue rate.

💰 Impact: $254 tax increase for the median homeowner
