District Proposing Massive Property Tax Hike
Evant ISD is voting to adopt a new budget and tax rate for 2026-2027. The proposed rate of $0.8508 is a 28.7% increase over last year’s rate, which will cause the tax bill on a median-valued home in Lampasas County to skyrocket by nearly 66%, from $547 to $908.
Response
PACK THE ROOM: Show up Monday, August 31st and sign up for public comment. Contact the Evant ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contact info): ‘Vote NO on Items 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4. A 66% increase in the median tax bill is unaffordable for Evant families.’
💰 Impact: Up to 66% Tax Bill Increase

District Discussing New Bond Debt
The board is holding a discussion on a new bond, which could lead to significant new long-term debt for taxpayers. This discussion is happening at the same meeting where the board is voting on a massive property tax increase, signaling a major push for more spending.
Response
DEMAND THE DETAILS: Contact the Evant ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contact info): ‘Regarding Item 3, what is the total amount of the proposed bond, and what specific projects will it fund? Taxpayers deserve a detailed plan before any new debt is considered.’
💰 Impact: Future Taxpayer Debt
