Plain-language impact
What could this mean for your property?
This renews the current tax and adds 0.5 mills. The added portion is the estimated increase; the full 2-mill rate is the renewed levy total. If it fails, the existing tax expires.
For the district: Renews existing 1.5 mills and adds 0.5 mills (total 2 mills) for 2 years. Raises about $32,735/year. If it fails, the existing 1.5-mill tax expires entirely.
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.
