WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR DISTRICT DEBT AND OPERATIONS?
The District is funded through service fees, tap fees and a property tax mill levy, which is divided between debt service and operations. The District's Board of Directors has certified 38.795 mills, including 32.47 mills for debt service and 6.325 mills for operations expenses in the 2024 budget. The District's Board of Directors adopts a budget annually and sets its mill levy for the following year based upon the needs of the District. The budget is adopted at a public hearing and property owners are encouraged to attend and provide comments. A copy the Annual Budget can be found on the District website on the District Information page under Financial Information. Click here to be directed to the Financial Page.
HOW ARE TAXES CALCULATED?
Property taxes are determined by completing the following calculation for an individual parcel of property: Market Value x residential assessment rate (RAR) x mill levy / 1000 =Annual Tax Bill.
Example: $100,000 market value home x .068 (RAR 2024) = $6,800 assessed value x 38.795 mills / 1000 = $263.81 annual tax bill.
