Declining School Tax Rate Rising Property Values

AISD’s tax rate dropped 33 cents since 2019

Over the past six years, the AISD tax rate has decreased nearly 33 cents.

Most of the decrease is due to changes in state tax laws and strong financial planning by school officials. But despite the lower tax rate, your local tax bill has probably gone up.

That’s because property values continue to rise in the county.

AISD has no say in your local property value.

The appraisal district in the county you reside determines the value of commercial and residential property within AISD.
The district does not have a say in how market values are determined.

The average market value in AISD is $178,054.

The average homeowner pays $1,780 in AISD taxes.

AISD’s current tax rate is made up of the following:

Maintenance & Operations (M&O Rate)
 $0.6890 per $100 assessed valuation 

+

Interest & Sinking (debt service) or I&S Rate 
$0.3034 per $100 assessed valuation

Total Tax Rate = $0.9924 per $100 assessed valuation

AISD’s Tax Rate History

The tax rate for 2025-2026 will not be adopted until August 2025, after certified tax values are received from all three tax appraisal districts.
