$17 million bond for Anson ISD: What it means for residents

ANSON, Texas (KTAB/KRBC) – Anson ISD is requesting voter approval for two bonds totaling $17 million, following an analysis of the district’s needs. Let’s explore what this election could mean for residents.

Proposition A

Proposition A would cost $9,200,000 to support elementary additions, high school CTE classrooms, district renovations, and resurface parking lots.

Proposition B

Proposition B would cost $7.8 million to fund the construction of a new field house and improve athletic fields with a resurfaced track and turf.

Tax Impact

The proposed bond is estimated to have a $0.32 tax increase. Here’s how Anson ISD broke it down:

Industries, such as solar farms, are expected to cover approximately 54% of the district’s bond payments. However, with two solar farms already constructed and more on the way in the county, this percentage is likely to increase. The remainder of the payments will be contributed by local businesses, agricultural land, non-qualified land, and residents. There will not be any tax increase on homesteads with an Age 65 Homestead Exemption Affidavit.

Early voting is already underway, with Election Day set for May 3, 2025.

A full report from reporter Noah McKinney, including conversations with Anson ISD Superintendent Troy Hinds and residents on both sides of the bond issue, will run tonight at 10 on KTAB and KRBC news.
