Local Proposition: Wall ISD

Proposition A – Ratifies an ad valorem tax rate of $0.7703 per $100 valuation in Wall Independent School District for the current year — a rate that will result in a 12% increase in maintenance and operations tax revenue compared with last year, adding about $848,421 in additional revenue.

According to Wall ISD, although Proposition A would increase the district’s maintenance and operations tax rate, the overall property tax rate for taxpayers is expected to decrease compared with last year. The district said approval of the measure would allow Wall ISD to access additional state funding while still resulting in a lower total tax rate.
