District to Adopt New Property Tax Rate
📅 September 24, 2026
Benavides ISD is holding a public meeting to discuss and adopt the new property tax rate. This is the single most important meeting for taxpayers to influence their annual property tax bill, but the district has not published the proposed rate in advance.
Response

SHOW UP AND SPEAK UP: This is the key meeting to stop a property tax hike. Attend the public meeting on September 24th at 5:30 PM and demand the board adopt the No-New-Revenue tax rate. Contact the Benavides ISD board (see official district website for contact info) and tell them: ‘Adopt the No-New-Revenue Rate and give taxpayers a break.’

💰 Impact: Potential Property Tax Increase
🚩Watchlist (LEVEL 5)
Tax Rate Vote with No Published Details
📅 September 24, 2026
The district has scheduled a meeting to adopt a new tax rate but claims “There are no Public Agenda Items for this Meeting.” This lack of a formal agenda item with supporting documents prevents taxpayers from reviewing the proposal ahead of time and preparing informed public comment.
Response

DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Benavides ISD board (see official district website for contact info): ‘Please post the proposed tax rate and all supporting calculations online immediately, well in advance of the September 24th meeting, so the public can be fully informed before you vote.’

💰 Impact: Reduced Public Scrutiny
