Recapture

Passed by the 86th Texas Legislature in 2019, House Bill 3 (HB3) made substantial changes to 鶹ý ISD's Chapter 49 (previously Chapter 41) recapture payment. House Bill 3 amended the Education Code to transfer certain sections from Chapter 41 to Chapter 49, and revised formulas used to determine excess local revenue under the FSP by adding Subchapter F, Chapter 48, Education Code, Section 48.257, Local Revenue in Excess of Entitlement. Texas Education Code, Chapter 49, provision recaptures local tax dollars from property-rich districts and redistributes the funds to property-poor districts; often referred to as “share the wealth” or “Robin Hood” plan.

鶹ý ISD is considered a property-rich school district. In FY2023, nearly 57 percent of all local revenue collected from property taxes was subject to recapture; FY2024 budget includes an estimate that 56.4 percent of all local tax revenue will be subjected to recapture. In FY2024, 鶹ý ISD anticipates the district will submit $940.5 million to the state in recapture funds. From FY2001 to FY2024, 鶹ý ISD will have paid the state of Texas close to $7.0 billion in recapture payments.

鶹ý ISD’s estimated recapture payment is $940.5, with a conservative assumption that enrollment will remain flat against the October 2022 PEIMS Student Snapshot. The payment will be half of the District’s Adopted Expenditure budget of $1.86 billion.
