Important Notice
Additions to Texas Government Code section 551.043, effective on September 1, 2025, require a taxpayer impact statement showing, for the median-valued homestead property in each governmental body, a comparison of the property tax bill in dollars pertaining to the property for the current fiscal year to an estimate of the property tax bill in dollars for the same property for the upcoming fiscal year if the proposed budget is adopted. Since the District does not adopt a tax rate and does not impose property taxes, adoption of the District’s budget would have no direct impact on a taxpayer property tax bill in the District.
