Pampa ISD board approves 2025 tax rate, M&O set at $0.7122; I&S $0.4800
Summary
After a public hearing with no public comments, the Pampa ISD Board set the 2025 tax rate at $0.7122 for maintenance and operations and $0.4800 for interest and sinking, totaling $1.1922 per $100 valuation; the motion passed unanimously.
The Pampa Independent School District Board of Trustees on Aug. 25 approved the district's 2025 property tax rate after a required public hearing.
Dr. Kelley Porter, Director of Business and Federal Programs, presented the district's tax-rate history and the administration's recommendation to levy $0.7122 for maintenance and operations (M&O) and $0.4800 for interest and sinking (I&S). The combined rate equals $1.1922 per $100 of assessed value. "Dr. Porter asked if there were any public comments and there were none," the record shows. Following the presentation, Trustee Cade Taylor moved to set the rate; Dr. Emily Arrington seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The board was reminded that state deadlines require adoption of a tax rate by the later of 60 days after certified taxable values are received or Sept. 30. The M&O components presented included a compressed M&O rate of $0.6322 plus a Tier Two enrichment rate of $0.0800 for a voter-approval M&O total of $0.7122. The I&S recommendation of $0.4800 was presented as a decrease from the prior year.
The action completed the district's formal truth-in-taxation steps for 2025; there were no public comments at the hearing and no amendments to the proposed figures.
