Although the tax rate is decreasing by 0.89%, the average appraised value of homes in the district has increased from $739,634 to $800,699.

Why It Matters

Understanding these changes is important for managing your financial planning. Even with a reduced tax rate, the increase in property values can lead to a higher tax bill. This shift highlights the importance of staying informed about property tax assessments and how they impact your overall tax obligations.
