El Campo ISD trustees approved lowering the tax rate, but this might not mean a small bill due to increased
property evaluations in the area. With trustee Ed Erwin absent, board members unanimously approved a no-new-revenue tax rate of $1.0527 per $100 of taxable value. Of that, $0.981 is for operations and
$0.717 is to pay off the district’s debt. The average home values in the El Campo ISD taxing district increased
by just over 8 percent this year.
