Princeton ISD’s tax rolls also increased 10.84 percent – from $595,040,221 in 2014 to $659,562,203 this year.
One interesting part of the tax roll equation this year is an additional $10,000 Homestead Exemption, which will be on the November ballot. However, if approved, it will be retroactive, affecting the state funding side of the ISD equation for FY 2015 – ’16.

Owners had until June 1, or 30 days after the date on the appraisal notice, whichever is later, to file protests on the appraised value of their property.
