I read that the tax rate that supports bond debt in school districts is lowered as the overall value of a school district increases. How does that work? Like most things, the value of property increases over time and the overall value of property in a school district is no exception. As property values increase, the revenue generated to pay for bond debt increases, thus the I&S tax rate may be lowered. School districts cannot promise that future values will increase each year, so Nederland ISD cannot promise a future reduction in the tax rate, however, over time school district values usually trend higher which allows school districts to lower the tax rate associated with bond issue debt repayment. [Hidden Content] Will you school taxes increase as you property value increases? Of course, that will happen whether this bond passes of not. But the rate to retire these bonds will decrease as the property values of the businesses and homes in Nederland increase.

This is what causes school bond debt service tax rate to increase: [Hidden Content]

I understand that if the bond issue is passed that school taxes will go up approximately 33Cents per $100 of value. Will the tax rate be the same until all bonds have been paid?No. The only year projected to reach the maximum increase is tax year 2020. That is when the tax rate is at its’ highest point. It is projected that the tax rate will then decrease slightly each year thereafter. What is the total projected tax impact to the owner of a $125,000 home? Will this amount of tax increase be consistent throughout the 25-year bonded indebtedness? The maximum projected tax increase for a home valued at $125,000 will be $27.50 per month in 2020 assuming that both bond propositions pass. The cost will probably be less in the years following 2020, as the value of the district increases, the tax rate amount needed to pay the bond debt will go down. [Hidden Content]

Lady Raiders up 1-0 after 1st OT period. 2nd 10 minute period upcoming.

Class 4A Region III Final from Tiger Stadium in College Station The winner advances to the 4A State Championship Tournament next weekend.

It wasn't that difficult: [Hidden Content] and Nederland ISD will be paying on the bonds for proposition 1 until 2037 and proposition 2 until 2038....you see that is how 25 year bonds work. Then, Nederland High will be 67 years old and one of the elementary schools will turn a spy 100. Are you truly advocating that not nail one be put in the schools that may affect any of the work done in 2012 and 2013 until all of the bonds from the bond issue are paid off?

A couple of questions: 1. Do you know what repairs where made as a result of the passage of Proposition 1 and Proposition 2 of the 2012 Nederland bond? 2. Do you know when the bonds for the 2012 issue are due to be paid off?
