Tax Information

When the Frequently Asked Questions document (FAQ) was created, the district projected a total 8.62% tax increase over four years due to construction costs. With our successful attainment of a favorable interest rate in the first borrowing, that figure has already decreased. We are hopeful, as we move through this process, that we can find further ways to diminish the effect on property owners.
