Wink‑Loving ISD sets 2025–26 property tax rate at $0.7942
Summary
Trustees set a total property tax rate of $0.7942 for 2025–2026 — an M&O rate of $0.6689 plus an I&S rate of $0.1253 — in a unanimous vote at the Aug. 18 special meeting.
The Wink‑Loving Independent School District Board of Trustees voted unanimously Aug. 18 to set the district’s property tax rate for the 2025–2026 tax year at $0.7942. The adopted rate breaks down to a maintenance and operations (M&O) rate of $0.6689 and an interest and sinking (I&S) rate of $0.1253 per $100 of taxable value. Trustee Chad Evans moved to set the rate and Trustee Jerome Dewberry seconded; the motion passed with all members present voting in favor.
Board materials cited the statutory process for publishing a proposed tax rate and holding a public hearing; the minutes note the board’s consideration of both M&O and debt service needs in arriving at the proposed rates. "I move the Board Approve a property tax rate of $0.7942 for the 2025-2026 tax year," Trustee Evans said when making the motion. The vote was recorded as unanimous with six trustees present; Trustee Brad White was absent. The board also confirmed that notices and hearings met truth‑in‑taxation requirements documented in the agenda packet.
