County tax office to split first-round tax-bill mailings ahead of Beaumont ISD election
Summary
Jefferson County tax office will send split tax-bill mailings: first to properties outside Beaumont ISD, and a second after the BISD tax ratification election so bills can be adjusted if voters change the rate.
A county tax office representative told the commissioners on Oct. 15 that Jefferson County will split its first-round tax-bill mailing this year to avoid reissuing bills if the Beaumont Independent School District’s tax ratification election (TRE) changes the tax rate.
The speaker said the initial mailing will go to properties outside BISD jurisdiction and the second mailing will follow the November election for BISD. The tax office representative reported coordinating with BISD’s chief financial officer to ensure the split mailing avoids duplicate postage and prevents taxpayers from bearing the cost if a rate change requires an adjusted mailing.
The announcement was informational; no formal action was recorded on the agenda. The tax office representative said the first round of bills would be mailed that afternoon.
The county clerk asked that the tax office issue a press release so residents in Beaumont and the Beaumont school district are aware of the split mailing schedule.
