WELCOME TO LOON LAKE SCHOOL DISTRICT!
Loon Lake School District is Running a Levy – What Is It All About?
Is this levy a new tax?
No, this is a renewal. Our community approved a levy 4 years ago, but it is expiring, so this levy would replace the expiring one.
What is the current tax rate?
The current average tax rate for our community is $0.53/$1,000 of assessed value (the maximum levy rate allowed by law is $2.50/$1,000). This replacement levy will keep that same average amount.
Will my taxes increase?
With this renewal, the average tax rate remains the same at $0.53/$1,000.
My assessed values are increasing, will my tax bill go up the same level?
No. The voters approve a total levy amount, and this amount does not change as your property values increase or decrease. An increase in assessed values lowers the levy tax rates.
How much does this levy bring into the district, and what does it pay for?
This levy provides Loon Lake School District with $325,000 every year for 4 years. It pays for things that the state does not fully fund. For example, it helps with:
Non-high payments to surrounding districts (state law requires that the Loon Lake School District pay a portion of the costs for students in grades 7-12 that live in our community but attend school outside of our district, because we only offer through 6th grade).
