Guadalupe County's 2026 tax notes carry $19.725 million in principal outstanding as of Oct. 1, 2026, according to its fiscal 2027 debt schedule.

For county taxpayers, the adopted budget lists a fiscal 2027 debt tax rate of $0.0212 per $100 of value, compared with $0.0120 for fiscal 2026. The comparison is between annual fiscal-year debt tax rates. The change is in the debt rate; these records do not establish the change in any particular owner's bill.

From the source record

Guadalupe County's fiscal 2027 debt schedule lists payments on its 2026 tax notes for each year shown.Scheduled payments describe debt service, not spending on individual projects.

The schedule puts fiscal 2027 payments on the 2026 notes at $1.5 million in principal and $914,944.44 in interest, a total of $2,414,944.44.

What the borrowing covers

The county issued $20 million in Tax Notes, Series 2026, in May 2026 for a broad list of county capital and public safety purposes. The listed purposes include county buildings and a law enforcement center, an animal shelter, roads and bridges, low-water crossings and drainage, public safety facilities and a fire station, fire equipment and vehicles, land and easements, information technology, and related professional and financing costs. Those are authorized purposes for the borrowing; the debt schedule gives series-wide payment amounts.

The payment timetable

The schedule shows $22.46 million in total tax-secured principal outstanding on Oct. 1, 2026, including $2.735 million from Series 2020. It lists $4.235 million in principal due during fiscal 2027 and $18.225 million outstanding on Oct. 1, 2027. That countywide principal balance includes more than the 2026 notes alone.

For the 2026 notes, the displayed annual principal-and-interest totals rise from about $2.415 million in fiscal 2027 to $4.492 million in fiscal 2028, then fall to about $3.258 million in 2029, $3.146 million in 2030, $3.059 million in 2031, $3.034 million in 2032 and $3.045 million in 2033. These figures describe scheduled debt service across the borrowing, rather than amounts assigned to a building, road or vehicle.
