BCISD Board Keeps Tax Rate at 1.50 for 97-98
Brownfield CISD Trustees meet at the School Administration Building and keep the property tax rate at 1.50 per 100 of value. Vice-President Orum presided with President Andrews absent. Davila and Garza were also missing. The district notes a tax decrease next year thanks to an increased General Homestead Exemption from 5 000 to 15 000, despite a roughly 10 million rise in property values. State aid will offset the lost revenue. The rate has stood unchanged for three years.
