What’s the projected tax levy?
What they want you to focus on is the % increase over last year…and that is 3.48%.
Yeah?…but what is the actual levy amount?
OK, since they won’t, let’s do the math for you.
It starts with last year’s tax levy, which was $45,503,637. Therefore, if the district’s draft budget represents a 3.5% increase, then the plan is to levy $47,087,164 this year.
The increase in levy is this $1.6M, with $650K of that going to debt and $950K additional for the General Fund.
