HISD passes tax rate for 2026-2027

The Hondo ISD Board of Trustees met Monday night in the Hondo High School Cafeteria to set their property tax rate for the current 2026-27 school year.

The board voted on a total tax rate of 0.9469 (94.69¢) per $100 valuation. Broken down, it divides to 0.6669 for maintenance and operation, and 0.28 for interest and sinking.

In June, the district adopted a general operating budget of $20,506,263 for the school year.

The tax rate represents a 2¢ increase over last year. The 2025-26 rate was 0.9269, with this year’s extra 2¢ per $100 valuation going to I&S, after district voters approved a $30 million bond in May.
