Plain-language impact
What could this mean for your property?
This is a straight renewal. It does not add a new tax or increase the rate; it continues the existing tax for 5 years. If it fails, the current levy expires.
For the district: Raises about $90,896/year.
The $100,000 starting value is only an example. This rough estimate multiplies the full voted rate by 35% of appraised value. It does not account for parcel-specific effective rates, credits, rollbacks, or other reductions, and is not a tax bill. Check the County Auditor’s levy estimator for your parcel; the county says its estimate also excludes rollbacks and reductions.
Example uses a $100,000 appraised value.
