The Anna City Council voted on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 to call a bond election for Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Voters will consider one proposition — Proposition A — authorizing up to $60 million in general obligation bonds for street capital improvement projects across the City.
Proposition A would authorize bond funding for street capital improvement projects throughout the City. Projects under this proposition address street capital needs at various locations.
If approved, bond funds would be used for capital work such as roadway construction, roadway improvements and compliance with ADA standards. Projects may include replacement of water, wastewater and drainage infrastructure under those specific roadways.
Bond funds will be allocated in phases and as needed within the timeframe established by the City's Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and bond issuance plan. The City will maintain a project-by-project allocation schedule and provide updates through City Council meetings, the City's website and social media.
Under Texas state law, bond election ballots must include the statement "THIS IS A TAX INCREASE." This language is required because property taxes may be used to repay the bonds over time.

The 2026 Bond Election consists of one proposition, Proposition A, totaling $60 million in general obligation bond authorization, not to exceed that amount, for street capital improvement projects.
Estimated maximum annual increase in property taxes on a $100,000 homestead (after the average $11,932 homestead exemption), assuming a 5.25% interest rate — per the City's official voter information document.
Combined principal and interest to repay the $60 million authorization is estimated at $98,342,740 over a 23-year amortization. As of the date the election was called, the City's total outstanding debt was $257,590,000 in principal plus $165,364,387 in interest, at a debt-service tax rate of $0.169002 per $100 of taxable value.
General obligation bonds are repaid from the City's Debt Service Fund, supported by property tax revenue. If Proposition A is not approved, the City would continue street capital improvement projects on a pay-as-you-go basis, subject to annual budgeting, prioritization and appropriation by City Council.
Projects were identified through City Council direction, staff evaluation and review of City plans, studies and approved future development. The City uses Pavement Condition Index (PCI) data to prioritize repairs, allocate funding and preserve roadway conditions over time. Listed projects are potential and subject to change based on available funding, project priorities and the City's annual budget process.

Proposition A would authorize bond funding in an amount not to exceed $60 million for street capital improvement projects throughout the City.
Capital work such as roadway construction, roadway improvements and compliance with ADA standards. Projects may include replacement of water, wastewater and drainage infrastructure under those specific roadways.
The City has identified roadway infrastructure needs through its Capital Improvement Program, adopted plans and ongoing roadway assessments. Projects in the CIP were identified through a combination of City Council direction, staff evaluation and review of City plans, studies and approved future development.
As construction costs increase over time, the City uses PCI data to identify and plan improvements that support current and future transportation requirements. PCI data helps prioritize repairs, allocate funding and preserve roadway conditions. The City is completing a PCI assessment to identify roadway maintenance needs and develop a proactive maintenance plan.
Bond funds would be allocated in phases and as needed for eligible street capital improvement projects within the timeframe established by the City's Capital Improvement Program and bond issuance plan.
Yes. Project locations and scopes are subject to change based on evolving community priorities and project considerations. The City will provide a project-by-project allocation schedule and updates through City Council meetings, the City's website and social media pages.
The City's official voter information document estimates a maximum annual increase of $89.10 on a $100,000 homestead (after the average homestead exemption), assuming a 5.25% interest rate. The exact annual debt service and tax impact would depend on the timing of issuance, interest rates at the time of sale, final project costs and assessed property valuations. State law requires the ballot to state "THIS IS A TAX INCREASE" because property taxes may be used to repay the bonds.
The City would continue to proceed with street capital improvement projects, subject to annual budgeting, prioritization and appropriation by City Council on a pay-as-you-go basis.
