FISD Invites Senior Citizens to a Coffee Talk

By: Staff Report

Date:

by Friendswood ISD Communication Department

Friendswood ISD would like to invite those 65 or older who live within the boundaries of FISD to join the District on Friday, Sept. 13, at 9 am for coffee, donuts, and Mustang news with Superintendent Thad Roher. The meeting will be held in the FISD Board Room at 402 Laurel Dr.

The meeting is an opportunity for the District to say “thank you” for the years of support its seniors give. It will also be a chance for seniors to be updated on what is happening in FISD, opt into District communications, and receive a Gold Card.

The Gold Card will offer the District’s senior friends a free general admission ticket to all FISD regular-season home game athletic events and fine arts performances, including plays, concerts, and choir performances.

Any questions regarding the meeting or gold card may be directed to FISD Communications Director Kelsey Golz at kgolz@fisdk12.net or call 281-482-6613.

Water District Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Rate The BRAZORIA COUNTY MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT NO. 21 will hold a public hearing on a proposed tax rate for the tax year 2024 on Monday, September 16, 2024, at 1:00 p.m., at Allen Boone Humphries Robinson LLP, 3200 Southwest Fwy, Suite 2600, Houston, TX 77027. Your individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or even decrease, depending on the tax rate that is adopted and on the change in the taxable value of your property in relation to the change in taxable value of all other property. The change in the taxable value of your property in relation to the change in the taxable value of all other property determines the distribution of the tax burden among all property owners. Visit Texas.gov/PropertyTaxes to find a link to your local property tax database on which you can easily access information regarding your property taxes, including information about proposed tax rates and scheduled public hearings of each entity that taxes your property. FOR the proposal: Noel DSouza, Fatiyauh Jones, Renae Medlock, Kiesha Curtis, John Cacolice AGAINST the proposal: None PRESENT and not voting: None ABSENT: None The following table compares taxes on an average residence homestead in this taxing unit last year to taxes proposed on the average residence homestead this year. Last Year This Year Total tax rate (per $100 of value) $0.87500 /$100 $0.82500 /$100 Adopted Proposed Difference in rates per $100 of value $-0.05000 /$100 Percentage increase/decrease in rates(+/-) -5.71% Average appraised residence homestead value $359,943 $355,274 General homestead exemptions available $66,970 $35,261 (excluding 65 years of age or older or disabled person’s exemptions) Average residence homestead taxable value $292,973 $320,013 Tax on average residence homestead $2,563.51 $2,640.11 Annual increase/decrease in taxes if proposed tax rate is adopted (+/-) $76.60 and percentage of increase (+/-) 2.98% NOTICE OF VOTE ON TAX RATE If the district adopts a combined debt service, operation and maintenance and contract tax rate that would result in the taxes on the average residence homestead increasing by more than 3.5 percent, an election must be held to determine whether to approve the operation and maintenance tax rate under Section 49.23602, Water Code. The 86th Texas Legislature modified the manner in which the voter-approval tax rate is calculated to limit the rate of growth of property taxes in the state. Should you have any questions concerning this notice, please contact the tax office at 281-482-0216. The Property Tax Assistance Division at the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts provides property tax information and resources for taxpayers, local taxing entities, appraisal districts and appraisal review boards.
