1 Taxes Payable 2014 Property Tax Levy and Budget Regular School Board Meeting December 17, 2013
2 Truth in Taxation Law State law requires that school districts present the following information: current year budget proposed property tax levy, including: the percentage increase over the prior year specific purposes and reasons for which taxes are being increased, and that we allow for public comments.
3 Truth in Taxation Law Property tax levies are highly regulated by the state: The State sets formulas which determine the level of funding for which school districts can levy. The State sets the maximum property tax levy: School districts are allowed to levy less than the maximum, often resulting in loss of state aid Counties also play a part in how school district levies are spread by determining the value of each parcel in the district.
4 Truth in Taxation Law The 2013 Legislature made a significant change to how property taxes are calculated: Increase in state aid for several levy categories resulting in reductions in tax levies (revenue neutral for districts) Addition of Student Achievement levy resulting in an increase in tax levies Ability for school boards to move voter-approved referendum to board-authorized referendum and location equity revenue

14 General Fund Levy Explanation of Changes: Referendum Authority Voter Approved Decrease of $3,205,97 relates transfer of $424 per pupil in levy authority to a new Location Equity revenue ($2.4M) as well as increase in state equalization portion ($800K). Location Equity Increase of $2,410,927 for this new revenue category. These funds were transferred from Voter Approved Referendum Authority above.
15 General Fund Levy Explanation of Changes: Student Achievement Increase of $109,473 for this new levy category. Revenue to the district is neutral as the same amount is reduced from the basic allowance in state aid. Operating Capital Decrease of $207,246 reflects increase in state dollars towards this revenue category. Revenue to the district is neutral as the same amount will be received from the state rather than collected through taxes.
16 General Fund Levy Explanation of Changes: Adjustments Levy calculations are initially based on enrollment or expenditure projections (depends on levy component). Each year, the levies for previous years are recalculated based on actual enrollment or expenditures and adjusted during the current levy year. Of the $428,011 in total adjustments, $378,636 is based on enrollment exceeding projections and ($49,375) is based on expenditures that were less than projections.
17 General Fund Levy Explanation of Changes: Abatements School districts receive taxes based on enrollment and actual expenditure amounts (limited by formula) rather than by property value. Taxpayers have a window of time to challenge their taxable property value with the County. If the County subsequently lowers their value their taxes decrease as well. This reduces the amount the District receives in the coming year. That amount is then added back in and redistributed to all taxpayers the following year. The amount on payable 2014 taxes is lower than 2013 year.
