Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Bond?
A bond is similar to a home mortgage. It is a contract to repay borrowed money with interest over time. Bonds are sold by a school district to competing lenders to raise funds to pay for the costs of construction, renovations and equipment. Most school districts in Texas utilize bonds to finance renovations and new facilities.
How Can Bond Funds be Used?
Bond funds can be used to pay for new buildings, additions and renovations to existing facilities, land acquisition, and technology infrastructure and equipment for new or existing buildings. Bonds cannot be used for salaries or operating costs such as utility bills, supplies, building maintenance, fuel, and insurance.
How Was the Bond Package Developed?
Development of the bond proposal was an in-depth process of information gathering, research, and community input by a dedicated committee of community volunteers. The Facility Study Committee and MISD Board of Trustees worked with staff for more than a year to study growth trends, facility assessments, financial data, and a community-wide survey before voting unanimously to call for a bond election.
How Will the 2025 Bond Affect my Taxes?
The MISD tax rate will not increase as a result of this bond election. Visit the Financial Transparency page to learn more.
What If Iam 65 Years Old, Will My Taxes Go Up?
No. If you have applied for and received the age 65 and older exemption on your homestead, by law, your school taxes cannot be raised above their frozen level. See the McLennan Central Appraisal District website for details.
What If I am Over 65 Years Old and Receive the "Senior Citizen Exemption" and My Home Value Goes Up, Will My Taxes Increase?
The appraised value can change, and the tax rate can change, but the amount of school taxes on your homestead cannot increase. Normal repairs, maintenance and the economic impact of the market cannot increase the amount of taxes you will pay once a tax ceiling is in place on that homestead. Therefore, the bond will not have an impact on the tax bill for homesteads that are receiving the senior citizen exemption, unless you make improvements to your home.
