How much more in taxes will the Monroe School District levy cost?

For an $800,000 property, the previous levy resulted in $4,715.00 in property taxes. Under the proposed levy, that amount would increase to $6,818.00 for the same property.

This figure represents only part of the total school taxes. Property owners would still be responsible for the prior bond tax, in addition to the two state school tax obligations added to proptery taxes.

The proposed Monroe School District levy represents a 45% increase—from $69 million to $100 million—despite a decline in enrollment of 858 students.
