Abilene debt-service mill levy falls to 2.72 mills for 2026
Abilene's debt-service mill levy is set at 2.72 mills for 2026, the lowest level in the five-year window reviewed. That compares with 4.337 mills in 2025 — a 37.3% decline, or 1.617 mills. Relative to 2022's 5.782 mills, the 2026 levy is down 53.0%, or 3.062 mills.
The path across the five years is 5.782, then 5.529, then 5.285, then 4.337, then 2.72.
A mill is $1 of tax per $1,000 of assessed value. This is the debt-service slice only — not the full General Fund mill levy.
The comparison uses five annual points. A lower debt-service mill levy does not by itself mean a lower total tax bill without the full levy and assessed valuation.
