The state requires that school districts list any referendums that are impacting your tax bill on the statement. These are technically not additional taxes. These amounts are already included in the tax levy portion you are paying to the school district. It is intended to show you what portion of your school tax levy is being applied toward the referendum's cost.

The Department of Public Instruction did not include the referendum data from the referendum passed on November 5, 2024. Here is the information it should have been reported:
Referenda ID is RF-5968. Total Referendum amount was $4,500,000. The 2024/2025 Levy Amount is $440,000. The Village makes up 49.840814% of the entire school district. Village residents were required to pay $219,299.58 on this tax levy. The Mill Rate for that levy equated to 0.000102281 (or $0.10). To determine the cost of this referendum on your tax bill you would divide the Assessed Value of your property by 1,000 and then multiply that number by .10.
