NOTICE ABOUT 2026 TAX RATES

Property Tax Rates in Henderson County ESD No. 8.
This notice concerns the 2026 property tax rates for Henderson County ESD No. 8.
This notice provides information about two tax rates taxing units use in adopting the current tax year’s tax rate. The no-new-revenue tax rate would impose the same amount of taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. In most cases, the voter-approval tax rate is the highest tax rate a taxing unit can adopt without holding an election. In each case, the taxing unit calculates these rates by dividing the total amount of taxes by the current taxable value with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value.
Taxing units preferring to list the rates can expand this section to include an explanation of how they calculated these tax rates.

This year’s no-new-revenue tax rate $ 0.091326/$100
This year’s voter-approval tax rate $ 0.094784/$100
