Alvin ISD homeowners can expect some relief on their property tax bills for the coming year. At its Sept. 9 meeting, the district’s board of trustees approved a tax rate of $1.15 per $100 of home valuation for the 2025-26 fiscal year—a slight drop from last year’s rate.
Breaking Down the New Tax Rate
The newly adopted rate is $0.0223 lower than the 2024-25 rate. It is split into two parts:
$0.7552 for Maintenance & Operations (M&O): This covers daily district operations and was trimmed by $0.0023.
$0.3948 for Interest & Sinking (I&S): This funds bond debt repayment and was reduced by $0.02.
What This Means for Homeowners
With this adjustment, an average home valued at about $365,000 would generate a tax bill of a little over $2,550. That’s about $415 less than last year’s average bill of nearly $2,970.
However, district officials note that actual tax bills could vary depending on changes in home values. For instance, last year’s average home value was about $370,700, slightly higher than this year’s average.
Why It Matters
This decrease, though modest, offers some financial relief for families in the district. For Alvin ISD, it also reflects ongoing efforts to balance funding needs for operations and bond debt while responding to rising property valuations in the area.
