TAX DECREASE

UNDERSTANDING THE BALLOT LANGUAGE

HOW WILL THIS LEAD TO A TAX RATE DECREASE?

Bond Amount

How would our rate go down if we approve a new bond election?

Alvin ISD carefully managed the projects from the 2018 bond, and finished all projects under budget while paying off bonds early.

As our community has grown with additional neighborhoods and businesses, this added growth helps pay for school bonds, meaning the rate can go down even with the approval of the 2024 proposition.

WHY THE CONFUSION?
