Bobcat Bond Fact Friday: Your Money Matters!
Voter approval of the 2024 bond would result in a .1378-cent increase to the district tax rate. The estimated impact would be $15.57 per month for a home valued at $235,557, the average home valuation in Hempstead ISD. Property owners aged 65+ with a homestead exemption will see NO TAX RATE INCREASE. More: www.hempsteadisd.org/bond2024 #BobcatsVote
