GISD Board calls for Nov. Prop A election

If passed, Proposition A is projected to provide about $56 million in additional funds annually for teacher and staff salaries, student programs, specialized education services and safety and security. 

State property tax transparency

Our community's property taxes help fund our schools and provide an exceptional education to our children.

Unfortunately, the state has been decreasing the amount it contributes towards public education. When property values increase, homeowners and business owners pay more money in taxes. Even though homeowners may pay higher taxes, the state pays less to districts and uses the savings it gets to fund other expenditures and priorities.

Taxes on the average residence

First, the taxable value of the home is determined:

  • Appraised value: $356,045
  • State Exemption: $140,000
  • Taxable value: $356,045 - $140,000 = $216,045

The taxable value is then used to calculate the school taxes on the home:

  • Tax Rate per $100/valuation: $1.1709
  • $100/valuation of $216,045 taxable value on "average" home: $2,160.45
  • Total School Taxes for 2025: $1.1709 x $2,160.45 = $2,529.67

Garland ISD's 2025 adopted tax rate of $1.1709 is an increase of $0.1200 from the $1.0509 rate for 2024.

Therefore, the school taxes on the comparable home a year ago (2024) would have been $2,651.47 ($121.80 higher than this year).
