Rochester School District Levy Information

TAX FACTS The estimated tax rate for 2009 is only $2.55 per $1000.00 The levy authorizes an average collection of $3.3 million. Once that amount is collected, the district receives NO MORE MONEY – regardless of how much property values increase. As more homes and businesses are built in our community, there are more people to divide the cost among.  The result is a LOWER TAX RATE.  LOCAL MONEY – LOCAL CONTROL.  100% of REPLACEMENT levy funding stays in the Rochester School District.NO WHAT DOES THE LEVY HELP PAY FOR?
