For the fifth consecutive year, the Dayton ISD School Board has done their best to ease the tax burden of Dayton ISD residents. This past August, the School Board voted to lower the tax rate from 1.27 per $100 valuation in 2019, to 1.1996 per $100 valuation for 2020. This is a $.07 decrease for this year alone which brings the five year total to $.23 over the past five years. The 86th Texas Legislature compressed the Maintenance and Operations portion of the tax rate, which lowered the rate more than twelve cents over the last two years. The remainder of the tax rate is for the Interest & Sinking (I&S) portion which allows the Dayton ISD to set that portion of the rate at whatever is needed to pay the current year’s bond payments based on voter approved bonds. The I&S rate went from $0.30 per $100 valuation down two cents to $0.28 per $100 of valuation this year. The five cent drop in the M&O rate combined with the two cent drop in the I&S rate, accounts for the overall $.07 decrease in the tax rate.
