What’s in it

AI summary Normally, cities, counties, and school districts cannot raise their proposed property tax amounts after a specific public hearing. This law allows school districts to increase those amounts if they don't know their state funding levels yet. However, if the state hasn't set the new growth rates by March 5, the school district cannot raise taxes more than they did the previous year.1

Read the official explanation

2A as part of the budgeting process. This bill permits a school district, due to the timing of enrollment determinations and the enactment of school aid legislation, to increase the proposed property tax amount to be included in the school district’s budget.2A shall not exceed such property tax dollar amounts calculated using percents of growth equal to those applicable to the immediately preceding school budget year.

Changed since by amendment H-8382; see Amendments.
