This bill reduces the maximum property tax levy that school districts can charge for their general fund, effective for taxes payable in 2023 and beyond. The overall school levy drops from $6.52 to $5.60 per $1,000 of property value, while agricultural property levies fall from $1.40 to $1.35 per $1,000, and owner-occupied home levies decrease from $3.15 to $2.30 per $1,000. These lower tax caps are accompanied by revisions to how the state calculates its aid to schools to help offset the reduced local tax revenue.
