Passage of the Forney ISD bond referendum will NOT require
a property tax rate increase.
• If approved by voters, there will be no increase in the Forney ISD property tax rate. Even better, our property tax rate will remain 17¢ lower than it was in 2019.
• As always, homeowners 65 and older who have filed their homestead exemption will never see an increase in their property taxes.
• Forney ISD has a proven record of smart management of bond funds. The district’s most recent bond, passed by voters in 2019, will be completed on time and under budget.
• We trust the leadership of Forney ISD. They have received the highest rating available from the state’s Financial Integrity Rating System and achieved an ‘A’ district accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency.
IMPORTANT NOTICE – PLEASE READ.
A new state law requires all school bond referendum propositions to include ballot language that reads, “This is a property tax increase.” The law was put in place in response to school districts struggling to meet the strict financial responsibility standards set by the state. Despite the ballot language, passage of the bond package will NOT result in an increase in our property tax rate.
