Tax impact of the Whitehouse ISD School Funding Referendum.
If voters approve the School Funding Election our tax rate will remain one of the lowest in Smith County.
Due to recent tax rate cuts, efficiency programs by the district, and the Texas Legislature recently increasing the homestead exemption, if the School Funding Election were to pass, our tax rate will remain 45¢ lower than in 2018.
The average homeowner in Whitehouse ISD would see a $246.81 DECREASE in their property tax bill when compared to last year.
Senior residents who have filed their senior citizen homestead exemption will see no increase in their tax rates now or in the future.
100% of these new funds will remain in our district, rather than being recaptured by the state’s complex and confusing school finance system.
Whitehouse ISD will continue with our efficiency policies that have earned us the highest rankings for transparency and district accountability by state agencies
