Rockport‑Fulton ISD board adopts 2025–26 property tax rate; total $0.7669 (3.26% increase)
Summary
The Rockport‑Fulton ISD Board adopted a 2025–26 property tax rate of $0.7669 (M&O $0.6769; I&S $0.09), an effective 3.26% increase. The motion passed unanimously 7–0 on Nov. 10, 2025.
The Rockport‑Fulton Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Nov. 10 to adopt the 2025–26 property tax rate, setting the Maintenance and Operations rate at $0.6769 and the Interest and Sinking rate at $0.09 for a total rate of $0.7669.
CFO Kathy Henderson presented the item. "Motion was made by Nikki Yarnall, seconded by Michaela Alston, duly put and carried to approve the adoption of the 2025-2026 property tax rate for Maintenance and Operations of $0.6769 and for Interest and Sinking of $0.09 for a total tax rate of $0.7669, which is effectively a 3.26 percent increase in the tax rate," according to the meeting minutes. The motion carried on a 7–0 vote; those recorded in favor were President Kenny Cruzan, Vice‑President Michaela Alston, Nikki Yarnall, Jack Vogel, Logan Burton, Eli Ramos and Bonni Randall.
The adopted rate will be used for the 2025–26 fiscal year budget and is reflected in the board's formal motion. The district did not provide a dollar‑amount estimate of the total revenue change in the minutes; that figure was not specified in the transcript. The board did not record any amendments or conditions to the adoption during the meeting.
Next steps: the tax rate adoption is a formal board action; implementation follows the district's budget and levy processes and any further public notices required by state law.
