TAX INFORMATION

UNDERSTANDING RECAPTURE
RECAPTURE or "ROBIN HOOD"
Public school finances are a balancing act. As local revenue increases, the state decreases the funding it provides to the school district. When the state determines there is more local revenue than needed, it will ask the district to pay "recapture" or "Robin Hood."
Andrews ISD has paid $390 million in recapture payments since 1993. During the 2021-22 school year, Andrews ISD ranked 37th among the 158 school districts that paid recapture payments.
While the district's M&O funds are subject to recapture, I&S funds — those generated by bond elections — are not subject to recapture. This means that all of the I&S funds stay in Andrews ISD for Andrews ISD students.
VOTING INFORMATION
VOTERS OVER 65
CITIZENS 65 & OVER ARE ELIGIBLE FOR AN “OVER 65” HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.
Andrews ISD property taxes for citizens age 65 or older would not be affected by the bond election. According to state law, the dollar amount of school taxes imposed on the residence homestead of a person 65 years of age or older cannot be increased above the amount paid in the first year after the person turned 65, regardless of changes in tax rate or property value unless significant improvements are made to the home. If you are 65 or older, you may file a homestead application at any time, or contact your local appraisal district to see if you already have the appropriate exemption on file.
