The Motley County ISD Board of Trustees adopted a tax-rate resolution setting the property tax rate at 0.6189 during a special meeting Aug. 26, 2025. The motion to adopt the resolution was made by Bert Darsey and seconded by Quinten Rose; the motion carried 5–0.
Board members stated the adopted rate "will raise more taxes for maintenance and operations than last year's tax rate" and quantified the change as a 5.55 percent increase. The board recorded an estimated increase of approximately $116.60 in maintenance-and-operations taxes on a home with $100,000 of taxable value. The transcript contained a formatting error showing a negative sign before that figure; this article reports the corrected estimate consistent with the board's characterization that the rate "will raise" M&O taxes.
No details on projected revenue totals, line-item impacts, or a breakdown of how the additional revenue will be allocated were provided in the transcript. The board took the vote by roll/voice and recorded the result as 5–0 in favor of adoption.
