Truth in Taxation

At the December 14, 2009 Board meeting Board members approved the pay 2010 tax levy of $13,112,045 (general $5,673,327; community education $564,269; and debt service $6,874,449). This recommended levy is $215,216 more than the pay 2009 levy. This represents an increase of 1.67% in total school property taxes. Most individual taxpayers will actually see a decrease in the school property taxes due primarily to lower assessed valuations, although a few may see an increase depending on individual property valuations or changes in property classifications.
