The Bridge City Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously June 16 to keep the district’s Local Option Homestead Exemption for residents 65 and older at $10,000 for the 2025 tax year.
Trustee Thad Hill made the motion and Trustee Jerry McInnis seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The decision preserves the existing $10,000 exemption for the 65-or-older homestead exemption for the coming tax year.
Board President Rebecca Rutledge presided over the vote. The meeting record did not include discussion of alternatives, estimated tax revenue impact, or whether the exemption level had been considered for increase or reduction prior to the vote.
