The Royal ISD Board of Trustees voted to adopt a property tax rate of $1.069917 for tax year 2025; administration described the rate as "effectively a 5.95 percent increase," while Trustee Cori Vahalik clarified the district's actual rate has decreased from last year.
The Royal Independent School District Board of Trustees on Aug. 25 voted to set the 2025 property tax rate at $1.069917, a motion made by Trustee Melissa Woods and seconded by Trustee Cori Vahalik.
The motion's text stated the adoption was "effectively a 5.95 percent increase in the tax rate." Trustee Cori Vahalik asked the board to note a distinction: "while the language states that this tax rate results in a tax rate increase, our actual rate has been reduced from last year (and consistently each year)." The board approved the motion with six yeas; one trustee was absent.
