Misleading Tax Rate Presentation Hides True Impact

📅 2026-09-08

The district proposes keeping the tax rate flat at $1.1352. The provided “Taxpayer Impact Statement” misleadingly suggests a tax cut by focusing on a drop in the median home value, while failing to disclose if the new rate exceeds the “no-new-revenue” rate, which would increase the total tax burden on the community.

Response

DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Kennedale ISD Board before the meeting (see the Official Agenda link for contact info). Ask the one question they didn’t answer: ‘What is the no-new-revenue tax rate, and why are you proposing a rate higher than that? Taxpayers deserve a transparent vote on the true tax increase.’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes
