Hallettsville ISD board adopts 10.1% property tax increase; rate set at $0.888830
Summary
At a special meeting Aug. 28, 2024, the Hallettsville ISD board voted 4-0 to raise the district property tax rate to $0.888830 (a reported 10.1% increase). The action followed a public hearing on the proposed budget and tax rate at which no members of the public spoke.
The Hallettsville Independent School District Board of Trustees voted 4-0 on Aug. 28, 2024, to adopt a property tax rate of $0.888830, a change the minutes record as a 10.1 percent increase in the tax rate. Motion language recorded in the minutes shows "Motion by Dennis Herring and second by Ryan Bludau that the property tax rate be increased by the adoption of a tax rate of $0.888830, which is effectively a 10.1 percent increase in the tax rate. Passed 4-0."
The vote occurred after the board held a public hearing on the proposed 2024–25 budget and tax rate; the minutes note that no one present addressed the board during that hearing. The board completed several related budget approvals earlier in the session, including adoption of the operating, interest & sinking, and food service budgets for 2024–25. The meeting record shows the board convened in executive session later to discuss personnel matters under Texas Government Code §551.074 and reconvened before adjourning.
