At the December 12, 2011 Board meeting Board members approved the pay 2012 tax levy. The recommended levy is $216,507 less than the Pay 2011 levy. This represents a decrease of 1.62% in total school property taxes. Most individual taxpayers will see a slight increase in the school portion of their property taxes due primarily to the effects of the Market Value Exclusion change and the decreased assessed value in the total valuation of property in the district.
