Bond 2025

On August 14, 2025 the Belton Independent School District Board of Trustees approved a $161.8 million bond referendum to be included on the ballot in the November 4, 2025 election.

The package includes four propositions that will be on the ballot focused on designing and maintaining safety/security, programmatic needs and replacement cycles in learning spaces district-wide:

• Proposition A ($92.9M) - General - security cameras, playground fencing, exterior lighting, HVAC, roofing; substantial updates and modernization at Sparta Elementary, Lakewood Elementary, DAEP, and Belton Middle School.
• Proposition B ($43.7M) - Athletic Stadiums - Construction of a competition Stadium at Lake Belton HS and updates for Tiger Field at Belton HS
• Proposition C ($6M) - Technology - Update student and staff devices
• Proposition D ($19.2) - Swim Center upgrades - Additional pool space and updates to current locker rooms

If all four propositions are approved in November, Belton ISD taxpayers will see an approximate $5.22 annual increase in property taxes for the average home valued at $348,832 after the application of the homestead exemption. There will be no increase for homeowners 65 years of age and older.
