Your local school taxes will increase by $3 per month, comparing 2006 to 2008.

How Much Do I Pay on the Current Levy?

You should have already received your 2006 property tax statement. Here are your approximate Local School tax values, based on our current levy, which expires on December 31, 2006:

	Tax Rate	Tax
Expiring Levy	1.64110	$328.22
Bonds	1.08976	$217.95
Total Local School Tax	2.73086	$546.17

How Much Will I Pay with the New Levy?

Here are the estimated Local School tax amounts for 2008:*

	Tax Rate	Tax
Proposed Levy	1.77	$396.48
Bonds	0.82	$183.68
Total Local School Tax	2.70	$580.16

So, What Was My Increase Again?

Since your taxes would increase from $546 to $580, this is a $34 increase, or $3 monthly. This is approximately a 1-2% increase in your total property taxes over 2 years, depending on your taxing district.

What About Growth?

This simple tax calculator assumes a 12% increase in home value, and an 23% increase in total district assessed value over 2 years, which includes new construction and industry.

Fortunately, even though estimating future growth is very difficult to do, you will find that changes in total assessed value have surprisingly little effect on your Local School taxes.
