About the Ballot Language
Ballot language will include the statement "THIS IS A TAX INCREASE."
A new legislative measure requires all Tax Ratification Elections for any school district to include the phrase “THIS IS A TAX INCREASE” on all ballot language. Homeowners ages 65 and older who have filed for and received the Over 65 Exemption will not see an increase over their frozen dollar amount if there have been no major additions or improvements to their home. Check your most recent Notice of Assessed Value Change to see if you will be impacted.
