To understand how much the district’s 16.78-mill combined operating and permanent improvement/bond levy might cost your household, you will need to know your home’s appraised (or fair market) value as determined by your county auditor. Go to your local county auditor’s website and do a real estate property search:

Hamilton County (

To find the appraised value, referred to as “Market Value,” go to “Tax Distributions” in the right column.
The levy will cost taxpayers $587.30 annually (or $49/month) per $100,000 of appraised value as determined by your county auditor.
[
Note: On September 9, 2019 the Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution for a phased-in finance structure of the November 5 ballot issue. If passed, the cost will be reduced to less than half of the initial request for property owners in the first year and gradually increase over the following two years. To learn more,

For tax purposes, a home is taxed on its assessed value, not its appraised or market value. The assessed value is 35% of the appraised or market value. A home that is appraised at $100,000 is taxed on only $35,000.
($35,000 x .01678*= $587.30/annually, or $49/monthly)
*.01678 equals the millage rate of 16.78.
