Stable Tax Rate - No Tax Increase

How can South Kitsap School District collect enough tax revenue to construct a second High School and implement all the Capital Levy projects without a tax increase?

• Recent changes from the McCleary decision have capped our current voter approved Educational Programs Levy at $1.50. The two proposed measures will fill the gap of $1.74 and maintain the rate of $3.24 that the voters approved in 2017.

• The $184M Bond will have an estimated tax rate of $1.07 per thousand of assessed home value over 25 years. The $21M Capital Projects Levy will cost an estimated $0.67 per thousand of assessed home value over four years.

• Taxpayers will continue to pay the 2017 rate of $3.24 with the approval of both the Bond and Capital Projects Levy.
