Homeowners in the Clear Creek Independent School District should mark their calendars for September 28, when the board of trustees convenes to vote on the district’s 2026 property tax rate. The proposed rate would remain unchanged at $0.969 per $100 of assessed home value, a figure that many families consider both predictable and manageable.
What the rate means for the average homeowner
According to district documents, the average home in the district is valued at $397,201. At the proposed rate, that homeowner would receive a tax bill of $2,074.77 for the upcoming fiscal year. The district emphasizes that this amount reflects the cost of maintaining high‑quality educational services, including classroom resources, extracurricular programs, and facility upkeep.
Why stability matters to families
Keeping the tax rate steady aligns with the district’s commitment to fiscal responsibility and to providing families with certainty when budgeting for household expenses. Parents can plan for school‑related costs—such as supplies, transportation, and after‑school activities—without the surprise of a sudden tax increase.
Board’s decision‑making process
The trustees will review the district’s budget projections, enrollment trends, and anticipated state funding before casting their votes. Community members are encouraged to attend the meeting, which will be held at the district’s headquarters, and to submit any questions or comments in advance through the district’s public‑comment portal.
How to stay informed
Residents can follow updates on the Clear Creek ISD website or sign up for email alerts. The district also plans to host a brief informational session the week before the meeting to explain how the tax rate supports classroom instruction, technology upgrades, and safety initiatives.
For families who rely on the district’s schools as a cornerstone of their community, the upcoming vote represents an opportunity to support continued educational excellence while preserving financial predictability.
