Approval Of Resolution Adopting Tax Rate And Levying Ad Valorem Taxes For Tax Year 2024
body
To support the approved 2024-2025 budget and to make required expenditures, the Houston Independent School District (HISD) must adopt a tax rate that will provide revenue through the property tax as provided by law. The rate to be adopted must include the necessary revenue for payment of maintenance and operations expenses and for debt service. The rate of $0.8683 per $100 of taxable value is recommended as the HISD 2024 tax rate to be adopted by the School Board. This rate includes a maintenance and operations component of $0.7016 and a debt-service component of $0.1667.
Approval of this tax rate will allow the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector to begin preparation of the 2024 tax bills. Revenue collected from taxes will be distributed to the General Fund and the Debt Service Fund.
