BLINN TAX RATE PUBLIC HEARING TUESDAY

  

The Blinn Board of Trustees will hold the first of two public hearings on their proposed tax rate next Tuesday.  The Blinn Board is proposing retaining the same tax rate as last year at $0.0601 per $100 of property value.  With the increase in property valuations this year, the tax would bring in $1,887,086 in tax revenue to support Brenham Campus operations.

This rate equates to approximately $108.40 in annual taxes on an average Washington County home valued at $180,380.  It is also the lowest rate among the state’s 50 community college districts.  The average Texas community college property tax rate is $0.1820.

The public hearing Monday will be at noon in the Blinn College Board Room located in the Brenham Campus Administration Building at 802 Green Street.  The second hearing is scheduled for 6 PM on Thursday, September 7th.
