Welcome to the Liberty Hill ISD Bond Website
Following the recommendation of the 2022-2023 Long-Range Planning Committee, which thoroughly addressed the district's rapid growth, the Liberty Hill ISD Board of Trustees convened on February 6th, 2023. In a unanimous decision, the Board approved an order calling for a substantial $471.1 million bond election to address the district's evolving needs. Subsequently, the 2023 Bond passed with flying colors during the election held on May 6, 2023, reflecting the overwhelming support and confidence of the community in the proposed measures.

Long Range Planning Committee
In October 2022, the School Board of Trustees charged the district with reconvening the 2020 Long-Range Planning Committee. This year we added some additional members for a committee of 90 school district parents, students, teachers, administrators, and community members. The work culminated in a long-range plan to ensure that Liberty Hill ISD has future capacity to accommodate the rapid enrollment growth and to make school safety enhancements throughout the district.
TAX INFORMATION
The LHISD I&S tax rate will NOT be increased by the proposed 2023 bond propositions and will remain at $.50.
The Liberty Hill ISD Board of Trustees has decreased the overall tax rate by 20 cents in the last three years.
Tax amounts are based on individual home appraisals assessed by the Williamson Central Appraisal District.
In 2019 a new rule for school districts was imposed titled Education Code § 45.003(b-1) that adds an additional sentence to all ballot propositions:
“THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.”
The Texas Attorney General said this statement cannot be modified.
Bonds are supported by the Interest & Sinking (I&S) fund portion of the tax rate. Based on Expected Debt Payment, LHISD has maintained the $0.50 in 22-23.
