Bond 2025 - No Increase To Current Tax Rate

The Argyle ISD Bond Election will be May 3, 2025. The bond package, built by the community-driven Bond & Growth Planning Committee, includes two propositions on the ballot and will maintain the current tax rate if approved.


There are two buckets of money when dealing with public school district budgets, M&O and I&S.

It is a fact that this bond program will be funded at the current I&S tax rate of $0.50, which is the maximum allowed tax rate on the I&S side. The taxable assessed values in Argyle ISD have risen significantly over the years due to the growth of new homes and businesses, therefore, bonds will be funded with the existing tax rate.


Argyle ISD is committed to transparency—there are no hidden costs in this bond package. School districts experiencing significant growth, like Argyle ISD, often reach the $0.50 maximum Interest & Sinking (I&S) tax rate to fund the construction of new schools and infrastructure. Once a district reaches the $0.50 cap, it may remain at that rate longer as long as growth continues and additional schools are needed. However, once growth slows and new bonds are no longer needed, the district’s tax I&S rate may begin to reduce. The tax rate cannot exceed $0.50 for bond debt repayment, meaning there is a built-in limit to what taxpayers can be asked to fund. This ensures predictability and accountability in school funding.


While many homeowners in our area are paying more in local property taxes, it is because the values of the individual homes are rising, not because the tax rate has increased. The increasing values of homes in our area are set and controlled by the appraisal district, not Argyle ISD.


The M&O bucket of the district’s budget is based on an amount per student, regardless of the amount of local property taxes paid. This is state law. For districts’ operating expenses, when more money is collected locally through property taxes, the state share decreases. Linked here is a video that explains the state’s share and the local district’s share of funding school districts.
