Public Hearing on Proposed 2027 Tax Rate
The school board is holding a public hearing to set the property tax rate for the upcoming fiscal year at $0.6692. This is the designated time for taxpayers to speak directly to the board about their tax bills. Due to rising property values, even a rate that appears lower than last year’s can result in a significant tax increase for homeowners. The key question is whether this proposed rate is higher than the ‘no-new-revenue’ rate, which would mean the district is planning to collect more property tax revenue than the previous year.
Response
ATTEND THE HEARING: This is your chance to speak directly to the board about your property tax bill. Go to the meeting on August 26th and ask the board members on the record: ‘What is the no-new-revenue tax rate, and by what percentage does the proposed rate of $0.6692 exceed it? How much more in total tax dollars will the district collect from taxpayers this year compared to last year?’
💰 Impact: Potential tax levy increase; amount depends on comparison to the no-new-revenue rate.
