Public Hearing on Proposed Tax Rate

📅 August 26, 2026

Vega ISD is holding a public hearing to discuss its proposed 2026-2027 budget and a property tax rate of $1.2954. This is the primary opportunity for taxpayers to voice their opinions before the board votes on a rate that will directly impact every homeowner’s tax bill. The key question is whether this proposed rate is higher than the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which would constitute a tax increase.

Response

SHOW UP AND SPEAK: This is the public’s chance to speak on the proposed budget and tax rate. Attend the hearing on August 26th and ask the board: ‘Is the proposed rate of $1.2954 higher than the no-new-revenue rate? If so, by how much will the average tax bill increase?’ Demand the board adopt the no-new-revenue rate to protect homeowners. Contact the district office to confirm board member contact information.

💰 Impact: Potential tax increase if the proposed rate exceeds the no-new-revenue rate.
