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 CONTROL100% of REPLACEMENT levy funding stays in the Rochester School District.NO
