Public Hearing on Your Next Property Tax Bill

📅 August 26, 2026

The district is holding a required public hearing to discuss the 2026-2027 budget and property tax rate. This is the primary opportunity for taxpayers to see if the board plans to adopt a tax rate higher than the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate. A rate above this threshold increases the total amount of taxes collected from the community, raising your tax bill even if the rate itself is advertised as a ‘cut.’ Taxpayers must attend to ask critical questions about spending and the tax levy before the final vote is taken.

Response

ATTEND THE HEARING: This is your chance to speak up before your tax bill is set. Go to the public hearing on August 26th and ask the board: ‘What is the no-new-revenue tax rate, and how does the proposed rate compare? Why is the proposed budget increase necessary?’ Demand they justify every dollar before the final vote.

💰 Impact: Potential Tax Levy Increase
