Schools seek support on tax measures

COLFAX – Nine school districts are seeking levy approvals from voters on Feb. 8.

A levy is a property tax. It costs the landowner a set amount for every $1,000 of assessed property value. If the amount is $2 for every $100,000 the property is worth, the approved levy would cost the landowner $200 per year.

Levies fund programs not covered by state funding.

People living in the school district can vote on whether to approve or reject levies.

Many are placement levies, meaning an older levy is expiring and the new one would take its place.
