Start Planning Your VATRE Now

See calendars for VATRE elections in 2026.

To assist districts preparing for a Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE) in November 2026, we are pleased to share the attached election calendars. These calendars outline key deadlines and statutory requirements for the VATRE process, with one version addressing districts with a June 30th FYE and the other addressing districts with an August 31st FYE.

 

Please note that the earliest action items for June 30th FYE districts begin in mid-June 2026, so districts considering a VATRE should begin planning now.

 

If you have any questions about the VATRE process or would like to discuss whether a VATRE is right for your district, please do not hesitate to reach out to Ben Morse at bmorse@leonalcala.com or (512) 637-4296.

 

We look forward to assisting you.
