We aim to be as transparent as possible about how the approval of the capital referendum questions on the ballot November 5th will impact property taxes in our community.
If both questions are approved, the tax impact will be $2.23 per every $1,000 of equalized property value in our community.
A home valued at $200,000 would see a property tax impact of $446 per year (or $37.17 per month), starting in the 2024-25 school year.
