2015 Bond Information

OVERVIEW

On August 18, 2015, the CSISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved calling a bond election for November 3, 2015, for an amount of $135.9 million. If passed by the voters, the bond sale will have a property tax impact of $.06 to $.10 per $100 of valuation for the 2016-17 fiscal year - depending on the terms of the bonds at the time of the sale.

Note: For the 2013 bond issuance of $83.5 million, CSISD conservatively projected a tax impact of $.05 to $.08. The actual increase was approximately $.06 per $100 of valuation.

The chart below shows the potential monthly and annual increase in property taxes for those who live in the CSISD taxing jurisdiction and takes into account the new $25,000 homestead exemption. These increases will not affect those whose property values are frozen.
