Comal ISD estimates that a one-year delay in its proposed bond construction would add about $27 million in project costs, using an architect’s March 2026 analysis and estimated construction inflation of at least 5%.
The figure appears on the district’s Bond 2026 financial page, which says actual costs can vary with market conditions, project scope and timing.
From the source record
The district estimates that delaying construction by one year would add approximately $27 million to project costs, based on architect analysis as of March 2026 and estimated construction inflation of 5% or more.Comal Independent School District ↗
For taxpayers, the $27 million is a district estimate of additional project cost, not an annual household tax bill. It describes what the district thinks a year of waiting could do to construction prices. It does not tell a homeowner what the bond would add to a tax bill.
What does the estimate measure?
Proposition A would authorize $539,955,000 for facilities, land and buses; Proposition B would authorize $27,045,000 for classroom technology. The proposed borrowing totals $567 million. The district’s delay estimate concerns project costs, so it should be read separately from the size of the ballot propositions and from the eventual cost of borrowing.
