Tyler Independent School District, Tyler Junior College, Tyler and Smith County entities are proposing NOT changing property taxes, but your taxes could be higher next year.  New construction and appraisal valuations typically go up.  If the tax rate stays the same, you could see your tax bill go up due to this increased valuation.    In Smith County 2015 taxes go to:  (1) TISD 64.71%, (2)  TJC 9.41%, (3) Smith County 15.53% and (4) City of Tyler 10.35% on a home valued at $150,802.   Other enities, such as road maintenance, fire protection, etc.  can increase your taxes.   JUST WATCH ALL THIS AS THE YEAR MOVES ON AND YOUR GET YOUR TAX BILL SHORTLY.
