We believe the most accurate way to understand the proposed tax increase associated with the $12 million

bond issue is to calculate the property taxes attributable to the Smithton School District #130. Tax Year 2011 Smithton School District #130 tax levy: Tax levy resulting from proposed $12 million bond: 3.0627 .675

This represents a 22% increase in taxes paid to Smithton School District #130. Using the EAV calculation method, the following chart outlines both the incremental annual tax increase and the 20-year total tax impact that would result from this bond issue. These calculations use the following equation: Fair Market Home Value x .3333 = EAV EAV x .00675 = incremental annual tax increase (e.g. $100,000 x .3333 x .00675 = $224.98)

Market Value of Home $100,000 $200,000 $300,000 $400,000 $500,000

Annual Tax Increase $224.98 $449.96 $674.93 $899.91 $1,124.89

20 Yr. Bond Life Tax Increase $4,499.60 $8,999.20 $13,498.60 $17,998.20 $22,497.80

Remember, a NO vote ONLY means NO to building a new middle school. A NO vote forces the school board to consider other, less costly and perfectly viable options for meeting our students needs!
