Tax Information

Due to Elgin ISD’s growth and conservative fiscal approach, there will be NO Elgin ISD I&S tax rate increase if voters approve both bond propositions on the May 2024 ballot.

State law requires every school district to include the statement “THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE” on the ballot, even when the district is NOT expecting a rate increase. This is because the issuance of new bonds increases the term of the debt repayment at the current tax rate. If both propositions are approved by voters, the EISD tax rate would not increase.

Elgin ISD Tax Rate History

For residents 65-years and older, school district tax bills will not increase, even if their property values increase (excluding significant property improvements) as long as an approved Homestead and Over-65 Exemption application is on file with the appropriate county appraisal district, and the property has been owned as of January 1 of the tax year.
