Voters in Collin County will weigh in on four bonds totaling $817.5 million in the November midterm election, including nearly $297 million for courthouse and jail projects, $475 million for roads, $6 million for parks and open space, and $40 million for an election records and storage facility. Officials said the bonds will help keep up with Collin County’s rapid growth.
Voters decide each of the four propositions separately. The county would issue bonds over six years through fiscal year 2032.
Voting “For” the proposals would authorize Collin County to issue bonds and levy property taxes to pay that debt. County officials said the package could raise the debt service rate from 4.18 cents per $100 of assessed value to 4.95 cents per $100 of assessed value over six years, assuming the county’s revenue grows by 3% each year.
However, county administrator Yoon Kim said the bond might not necessarily involve a tax increase.
