At a regular meeting on Sept. 9, 2024, the Abernathy ISD Board of Trustees voted to set the district's 2024 property tax rate at $0.8167 for Maintenance & Operations (M&O) and $0.33 for Interest & Sinking (I&S), for a combined rate of $1.1467.
"I move to set the tax rate for 2024 at $.8167 for M&O and $.33 for I&S, for a total tax rate of $1.1467," Trustee David Carver said when making the motion, which Trustee Scott Bickel seconded. The motion passed 5–0 with Trustee Ty Horsford absent.
The board also moved to designate the district Business Manager to calculate the district's no‑new‑revenue tax rate and the voter‑approval tax rate using the tax rate calculation forms prescribed by the comptroller. That designation was approved in a separate motion, 5–0.
The action formally sets the rate the district will publish for tax notices and begins the administrative steps required under state tax law, including statutory public‑hearing requirements. The board scheduled the first required public hearing for Oct. 7, 2024 at 7:30 p.m.
