Truth in Taxation
TRUTH IN TAXATION
At the December 2, 2024 School Board meeting, the School Board held its Truth in Taxation hearing. The recommended levy is $157,274.07 less than the 2023 payable 2024 property tax levy. This represents a -1.08% change in total school property taxes. The major increases and decreases with the levy are explained in the Truth in Taxation Power Point.
In the presentation, there are a couple of residential property tax examples estimated by Ehlers, the District's financial advisors. If property values would have remained the same, residents would have seen a slight decrease in their school district property taxes. By using an average property value estimated increase of 21.0% over 4 years, Ehlers estimates some slight property tax decreases from the previous year. Actual changes may be more or less than estimates shown for any specific parcel of property depending on the property value changes.
