What is the financial impact?
Between 2016 and 2025, the 10-year average tax rate on our bonds and levies was $3.71 per $1,000 of assessed value. If these two levies are passed, the average tax rate moving forward 2026 to 2031 would be $3.29, a 42 cent decrease from the previous 10 years.
If approved, in 2026 property owners would pay $3.27 per $1,000 dollars of assessed value. That means an average property owner, whose home has an assessed value of approximately $650,000, will see an increase of approximately $16.15 per month in 2026.
​
After that, the tax rate will remain stable at an average of $3.29 for the duration of the levies.

This table shows the current and estimated bond and levy property tax rates per $1,000 dollars of assessed value.
