Summary
The board approved a resolution setting a total 2025 tax rate of $0.9169 per $100 and called a voter-approval election for Nov. 4, 2025. Trustees recorded the split as $0.7669 for maintenance and operations and $0.1500 for interest and sinking.
The North Lamar ISD Board of Trustees on Aug. 14 approved a resolution adopting a total tax rate of $0.9169 per $100 valuation for the 2025 tax year and called a voter-approval tax rate election for Nov. 4, 2025.
Trustee Sheila Daughtrey moved that the board "levy or set the tax rate on $100 valuation for the district for the tax year 2025 at a total tax rate of $0.9169," with $0.7669 earmarked for maintenance and operations and $0.1500 for payment of debt principal and interest. Stephen "Red" Holmes seconded the motion, which carried 4-0. The motion text in the minutes states the tax rate "will effectively be raised by 14.99 percent." The minutes also record that, as written, the motion "will raise taxes for maintenance and operations on a $100,000 home by approximately $0."
The resolution also calls a voter-approval election on Nov. 4, 2025, to approve the rate. Kaleb Ball presented the proposal during the public hearing earlier in the meeting. The board did not record any amendment to the rate during the meeting. The action appears in the meeting minutes under the district's formal action items and was approved by roll call as noted in the minutes.
