The CostThere is no change in the tax rate for this renewal. You will continue to pay the 37 cents per $100 of property value – the same tax rate you are currently paying for the school referendum levy, and that you have been paying since 2010.

Q: Does the quality of schools really affect property values?Yes. According to a National Alliance of Business report, “The second most often cited reason for a business selecting a particular location is the quality of the schools.” Good schools are also shown to attract and retain families. A community that attracts families and businesses tends to have a stronger tax base, higher home values, and a tax burden that is spread more widely.
