⚠️ Warning (LEVEL 8)

Proposed 38% Property Tax Bill Hike

📅 September 15, 2026

Strawn ISD is holding a public hearing to adopt its new tax rate for the 2026-2027 school year. Due to soaring property appraisals, the proposed rate of $0.6669 will increase the tax bill on an average home by $208 (a 38% jump) compared to last year, from $543 to $751.

Response

Show up for the public hearing on Item III.A.1. Email the Strawn ISD Board (contact info on the district website): ‘Regarding Item III.A.2, I urge you to reject the proposed tax rate and adopt the no-new-revenue rate. A 38% increase in the average tax bill is unaffordable for Strawn families.’

💰 Impact: $208 Increase on Average Home
