Heads up, Texas taxpayers: we’ve reviewed the upcoming FARMERSVILLE ISD agenda and found 2 items that deserve your attention before the gavel falls.
ALERT (LEVEL 10)
Final Vote on 2026 Property Tax Rate
📅 October 27, 2026
The board is scheduled to approve the 2026 tax roll and ordinance, which sets the property tax bill for every homeowner and business in the district. The agenda does not state the proposed rate, preventing taxpayers from knowing if it’s a tax hike above the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate.
Response

SHOW UP AND SPEAK UP: This is the vote that sets your property tax bill. Contact the Farmersville ISD board (see official agenda for contact info) and ask: ‘What is the proposed tax rate in Item IV.B, and how does it compare to the no-new-revenue rate? I urge you to adopt the no-new-revenue rate and protect taxpayers.’

💰 Impact: Potential Property Tax Hike
WATCH (LEVEL 5)
Requires Verification

Undisclosed Budget Change on Consent Agenda
📅 October 27, 2026
The board plans to approve a budget amendment as part of the consent agenda, a bundled vote typically used for ‘non-controversial’ items. Placing financial changes here can prevent public discussion and scrutiny of how taxpayer money is being reallocated.
Response

DEMAND A SEPARATE VOTE: Contact the Farmersville ISD board and demand that ‘Item IV.A.2.e, Approve Budget Amendment,’ be pulled from the consent agenda for individual discussion and a recorded vote. Taxpayers deserve to know what is being changed in the budget before it’s approved.

💰 Impact: Undisclosed Spending
