Valley View ISD board adopts $1.1599 total tax rate for 2025–26; cites hurricane disaster adjustment
Summary
The Valley View ISD Board of Trustees adopted a 2025–26 total tax rate of $1.1599 per $100 — setting M&O at $0.7869 and I&S at $0.3730 — and noted a 0.0317 disaster-penny increase tied to the Governor's Hurricane Beryl declarations.
The Valley View ISD Board of Trustees voted Aug. 12 to set the 2025–26 maintenance and operations (M&O) tax rate at $0.7869 per $100 of assessed value and the interest and sinking (I&S) rate at $0.3730, for a total tax rate of $1.1599.
Finance Director Sandra C. Martinez presented the rate and explained the adjustment tied to the Governor's disaster declarations for Hurricane Beryl, which increased the M&O rate by 0.0317 disaster pennies. "Consider and take action to adopt the resolution setting the 2025-2026 maintenance & operations tax rate at $0.7869/$100 pursuant to the Governor's disaster declarations resulting for hurricane Beryl," the agenda item states. Board President Claudia Coronado moved to adopt the rate; Jaime Gaona seconded the motion, which the board approved.
Why it matters: the adopted rates determine local tax revenue available for district operations and debt service for the coming school year and reflect a specific disaster-related adjustment disclosed on the record. The district will apply the M&O and I&S rates to property assessments for 2025–26 as required by state law and local budgeting practices.
Next steps: the action was recorded on the Aug. 12 minutes; the board did not attach additional conditions to the tax-rate adoption during the meeting.
