Eden CISD Announces Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election
Eden, Texas — August 17th, 2026 — The Eden CISD Board of Trustees has ordered a Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE) for November 3rd, 2026.
The proposed tax rate will maintain Eden CISD's current overall tax rate of $0.96390 per $100 of taxable property value.
The VATRE would allow the district to shift 9 cents of the existing tax rate from Interest and Sinking (I&S) to Maintenance and Operations (M&O), providing additional local revenue to support the day-to-day operations of Eden CISD.
"The Board believes this is an important step in maintaining the financial strength of Eden CISD and continuing to provide the quality educational opportunities our students deserve," Superintendent Matt Odom said. "We appreciate the continued support of our community and look forward to providing more information about the VATRE as we move closer to the election."
Eden CISD will provide additional information regarding the VATRE, including election and voting information, in the coming months.
More information will be shared with our community as the election approaches.
