1 ACC's maintenance and operations (M&O) tax rate is capped at 9 cents plus a current rate of $0.0051 per $100 valuation to retire facilities bonds, representing less than the state average of 15 cents (Texas Association of Community Colleges, "Academic Year 2009-10 Tax and Valuation Survey.") The tax rate cap has been raised only once in the history of the college, with voter approval. Any future change to the M&O tax cap would also require voter approval.
