Rationale:
  • 2015-16 total taxable valuation was $621,362,235.  The 2016-17 total taxable valuation is certified as $672,634,115.  This represents a 8.25% increase in total taxable valuation or an increase of $51,271,880.

 

  • Total Property Tax Request in 2015-16 was $5,589,570.  Total Property Tax Request for 2016-17 is proposed to be $5,822,621.  This represents a 4.17% increase in the amount requested or an increase of $233,051.

 

  • Total Property Tax Request for the General Fund in 2015-16 was $5,231,086.  Total Property Tax Request for the General Fund in 2016-17 is proposed to be $5,559,406.  This represents a 6.27% increase in the amount requested or an increase of $328,320. 

 

  • Total Levy Rate for 2015-16 was $0.90.  Total Proposed Levy Rate for 2016-17 is $0.865645.  This represents a 3.97% decrease in the Total Levy Rate.  (The Total Levy Rate includes taxes levied in the General Fund, Special Building Fund, & Qualified Capital Purpose Undertaking Fund.  The Bond Fund was retired at the end of the 2015-16 budget cycle for the purpose of levying taxes, as the bond on the elementary has been paid off.  However, the Bond Fund will be maintained for the purpose of collecting tax proceeds that continue to trickle in to the fund.)
