⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

School Board to Vote on 2026-2027 Property Tax Rate

📅 September 14, 2026

The board will vote to set the total property tax rate at $1.186099 per $100 of valuation. The agenda does not state how this rate compares to the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which is the tax rate that would raise the same amount of money as last year from the same properties, effectively hiding whether this is a tax increase driven by rising appraisals.

Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the White Oak ISD board before Monday’s meeting (see district website for contact info). Ask them: ‘Before you vote on Item 6.a, please state publicly how the proposed tax rate of $1.186099 compares to the no-new-revenue rate. We deserve to know if our taxes are going up.’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes
