The Humble ISD Board of Trustees unanimously approved the district’s 2018 Tax rate at $1.52 per $100 property valuation at their October meeting. This is the 10th year in a row the board has been able to avoid an increase in its ad valorem tax rate on property within the school district. The last time an increase was required was in 2008 when the rate was increased from 1.31 percent to the present 1.52 percent. The overall rate consists of two components, both of which remain unchanged: $1.17 designated for maintenance and operations and $0.35 for interest and debt servicing costs.
When Trustee Martina Dixon made the motion to approve the tax rate, one of the trustees enthusiastically and loudly said, “It’s the same. It’s the same. No, you’re not raising it!”
