The bond package which is broken into two propositions. was developed by the Citizens' Advisory Committee, a gro ip of more than 70 members of the community. DID YOU KNOW? * Georgetown ISD received an 'A' from the Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas and has saved taxpayers more than S23 million in interest over the last six years. * The district is growing and 2.300 new students are expected in the next five years. * Georgetown ISD had roughly 2,925 home sales in 2017 and about 40% were new homes. TAX INFORMATION There will be no tax rate increase if voters approve the bond package. How is this possible? By paying down the district's current debt early using surplus funds generated by property value growth and by refinancing debt at a lower interest rate, it allows a new bond to be issued without raising the tax rate. CURRENT TAX RATE: $1.409 VOTING INFORMATION Register to Vote by October 9 EARLY VOTING October 22 - November 2 ELECTION DAY Tuesday.
