Deputy District Administrator Phil Frei was asked recently what the current projections are for NEXT year's millrate, considering that the increase for THIS year is expected to be at least $1.28 (per $1,000 of assessed value).
Frei's estimate for the 2010-11 year is: $1.32 (per $1,000 of assessed value).
That's a total of $2.60 additional, or an additional $520 for a $200,000 home (as compared to 2009 property taxes).
Adding $1.32 on top of the $1.28 (at least) for this year (2009-10) will increase the total school district mill rate to $13.13, the highest it has been in over 10 years. All that building? Time to pay the piper, folks.
Please note, however, that mill rates can never be calculated with a high degree of confidence until final aid and equalized value (of district property) numbers are obtained in mid-October of any given year.
