Belton ISD believes in the investment of its staff and strives to be competitive in attracting and retaining exceptional employees.
The Board of Trustees also adopted a decreased tax rate for the sixth year in a row. The adopted rate of $1.1494 per $100 of assessed value
includes $0.7552 for maintenance and operations and $0.3942 for debt service. This is a $0.0023 decrease from last year’s tax rate.Despite the decrease in rate: THIS TAX RATE WILL RAISE MORE TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR’S TAX RATE.
