Liberty Hill ISD’s proposed tax rate increase, Proposition A, has passed.

Fifty-two percent of voters approved the measure, according to unofficial results from the Williamson County Elections Department.

The measure, which raises the district's tax rate by seven cents — to $1.24 per $100 of home valuation — stands to generate an additional $10.7 million in tax revenue for the 2025-26 school year.

For a median-valued home within the school district's boundaries in western Williamson County, that means an additional $29 per month, or $348 per year, in school taxes.

School district officials said the money will be used to help pay for the district's day-to-day operations, including teacher and staff salaries, student programming, classroom support and safety measures.

If the measure had been rejected by voters, officials said they would have had to cut an additional $3 million from the budget and take out operational loans to keep schools open.
