CANUTILLO, TEXAS (KFOX14/CBS4) — Homeowners in the Canutillo Independent School District will see a slightly lower school tax rate for the 2026-27 school year.

On Tuesday, the district adopted a tax rate of $1.14 per $100 of taxable home value.

Canutillo ISD said that at that rate, the average home in the district, valued at just over $331,000, will pay just under $2,200 in school taxes.

That is about $11 less than last year, if the home’s assessed value did not rise.

“We are pleased to be able to remain good stewards of the taxpayers’ money in our efforts to provide our students with a world-class education,” said Board President Sergio Martinez. “We have had tough funding cycles over the past three years, and we continue to tighten our belts to make sure we are both financially sound and academically innovative.”

The tax rate comes after the Board of Trustees approved a balanced budget of $65. 7 million for the 2026-27 school year.
