Harris County school board approves 2025 millage rate 18.5 mills after 4-3 vote
Summary
The Harris County Board of Education voted 4-3 on Aug. 19 to set the 2025 maintenance-and-operations millage at 18.5 mills and the bond rate at 1 mill, after the board reviewed the 2025 tax digest and a five-year history published in the Harris County Journal.
The Harris County Board of Education voted 4-3 on Aug. 19 to set the 2025 maintenance-and-operations millage at 18.5 mills and the bond-and-indebtedness rate at 1 mill.
Board members reviewed the district's 2025 tax digest and a five-year history that the board said had been published in the July 31 and Aug. 7, 2025 issues of the Harris County Journal before calling the vote. The chair opened the motion to accept the millage rates and Mr. Johnson provided a second; the board later recorded a 4-3 result and the chair announced the motion passed.
The board did not record a roll-call vote broken out by member in the meeting transcript; the chair announced the final tally as four in favor and three opposed. The motion sets the maintenance-and-operations millage at 18.5 mills for the 2025 calendar year and the bond-and-indebtedness millage at 1 mill.
Board members referenced the public tax hearings held in recent weeks; several trustees later thanked citizens for attending and sharing input during those hearings. The transcript does not show additional implementation steps or a schedule for certification of the rate beyond the board vote.
