La Porte ISD trustees adopt 2024 tax rate of $0.9739 per $100
Summary
On Sept. 10, 2024 the La Porte ISD Board of Trustees adopted Resolution No. 2024-14 setting the 2024 tax rate at $0.9739 per $100 of assessed value — $0.7220 for Maintenance & Operations and $0.2519 for Debt Service — by a 6–0 vote.
The La Porte Independent School District Board of Trustees voted Sept. 10 to adopt a 2024 tax rate of $0.9739 per $100 of assessed valuation, approving a split of $0.7220 for Maintenance and Operations and $0.2519 for Debt Service.
Trustee Jeff Martin moved to adopt Resolution No. 2024-14, citing ongoing financial impacts from disaster declarations issued by the governor; Trustee Melissa Crutcher seconded the motion. The motion passed by a vote of 6 to 0.
The resolution notes that an election is not required under TEX. TAX CODE § 26.08(a) following the 2023 tornado disaster declaration, and sets the district's levy levels for the coming year. The board's action follows the posting and discussion required under state law and district procedures.
The adopted rates will guide the district's revenue calculations as administrators prepare budgets and notify county appraisal and tax officials of the district's certified levy. The board also adopted the 2024 certified tax roll in a separate resolution that same evening.
