Plano ISD proposes decreased tax rate for next fiscal year

Plano ISD’s tax rate is set to decrease heading into fiscal year 2026-27.

The gist: The proposed property tax rate of $1.0328 per $100 of appraised value would be a decrease of around 0.65% from fiscal year 2025-26.

Homeowners may still see an increase in taxes paid due to an estimated increase in appraised home value, PISD Chief Financial Officer Courtney Reeves said at a May 19 board of trustees meeting.

The average residence is expected to pay $4,827 in property taxes to the district in FY 2026-27, an increase from $4,670 in FY 2025-26.

Quote of note: “The average market value of a home is expected to increase from $612,000 to $618,000,” Reeves said. “While the district’s tax rate is decreasing slightly, the increase in the taxable value does result in a modest increase for the average homeowner.”
