Waxahachie ISD is committed to providing the highest quality education to the students in our district. Furthermore, the district is also committed to honoring and supporting our staff through competitive compensation and benefits packages. Through sound fiscal management, the Board of Trustees has diligently worked to lower the overall property tax rate with funds provided by the Texas Legislature. Additionally, homeowners saw the homestead exemption more than double in value, from $40,000 to $100,000 in 2023, further providing property tax relief. Property taxes owed on a residence with a valid homestead exemption in 2018-2019, valued at $200,000, would have been $2,486.24. The same residence with a valid homestead exemption in 2024-2025 would owe property taxes of $1,168.10 – a 53% reduction in property taxes.
