Collin County voters reject all four propositions in an $817.5 million bond package

Roads (Prop. B)$475M58.1%

Parks (Prop. C)$6M0.7%

If you're wondering how Tuesday's vote landed: Collin County voters rejected all four propositions in the $817.5 million bond package. The money would have gone to roads, jail and courthouse space, parks and a new elections building. Officials said it was needed to keep pace with growth, and the Census Bureau ranked Collin the nation's second fastest-growing county between 2024 and 2025.

Roads were the closest call. Proposition B, the $475 million road measure, lost with about 51% opposed. Proposition D, the $40 million elections and records facility, saw the widest margin at about 69%.

Voters opposed every county proposition, from 51% to 69%

  • Collin College: separate $600 million bond also failed, about 52% opposed
  • Turnout: 460,900 ballots, 57.91% of 795,862 registered voters
  • now: 4.18 cents per $100 of assessed value
  • Status: results are unofficial until canvassed

Approval would not have triggered an immediate property tax increase. Projections showed the debt service rate could reach 4.95 cents over the six-year bond period.
