Board of Trustees adopts lowest tax rate in 39 years
The CFISD Board of Trustees approved a 2025 tax rate of $1.0669 per $100 of property valuation—a reduction of $0.02 (2 cents) from 2024—during a special-called meeting on Oct. 28.
The total tax rate is comprised of a $0.6669 Maintenance & Operations (M&O) Tax Rate and a $0.40 Interest & Sinking (or debt service) Tax Rate. The M&O Tax Rate, which funds day-to-day operations in CFISD, decreased from $0.6869 in 2024.
CFISD also offers a local optional homestead exemption of 20% of the appraised value of a home. When paired with the current $100,000 state exemption, a CFISD taxpayer with a home valued at $350,000 (the district average) would pay a tax based on $180,000 of value.
Two constitutional amendments currently on the November ballot would further reduce taxes for homeowners:
- Proposition 13 (Senate Joint Resolution 2) would increase the state-mandated homestead exemption from $100,000 to $140,000.
- Proposition 11 (Senate Joint Resolution 85) would increase the state’s over-65 or disabled homestead exemption from $10,000 to $60,000.
