Recent legislative action has mandated the publication of this statement. The statement relates only to the maintenance and operations (M&O) portion of the tax rate. It does not address the interest and sinking (I&S) portion of the tax rate.  I&S taxes are used for payment of bonds authorized by the voters of the District.

The tax rate in the Bandera ISD is decreasing by 12 cents after the Board of Trustees approved lowering the rate from $1.63 per $100 valuation to $1.51 at a Regular Meeting held on September 12, 2006.The Board voted unanimously to lower the tax rate. The tax rate adopted includes a Maintenance & Operations rate of $1.32 and an Interest & Sinking Fund rate of $0.19. The Interest & Sinking Fund tax revenue is used to pay for bonded indebtedness on construction, equipment, or both. The bonds, and the tax rate necessary to pay those bonds, were previously approved by the voters of Bandera ISD.

The County of Bandera Tax Assessor/Collector's office handles the collection and notification of school taxes for Bandera ISD.
