XI.A. Action: Adopt Preliminary Proposed Property Tax Levy 2023 Payable 2024
Speaker(s):
Ms. Marie Schrul, Executive Director of Finance
Description:
State law requires that the School Board adopt a proposed property tax levy for taxes payable in 2024 by September 30, 2023. This is the first step in the setting of property tax levies for next year. Additional steps in the process will be outlined in the presentation.
The amount adopted by the district for preliminary 2023 payable 2024 provides revenue for the 2024-2025 school year and is limited by state statute and voter approved referendum. This differs from the county and city calendars in that the 2024 levy provides the revenue for their 2024 calendar year budget. The school board may adopt a preliminary levy based on September estimates or may adopt a preliminary levy that states "Maximum Levy". If the Board adopts a "Maximum Levy", then Minnesota Department of Education adjustments may be made subsequent to the action by the Board. If a dollar amount is adopted in September, adjustments that would increase the levy are not allowed. Historically, the "Maximum" has been adopted in September as an assurance that final corrections or adjustments would be included for Board of Education consideration prior to certifying the final levy in December. |
