Tax Impact

Four factors affect the local tax rate:

 The Common Level of

Appraisal (CLA)

 The Statewide Education Tax Rate  The Property Yield is a new feature of the education funding

system.

 The WCUUSD budgets*

* We only have control over the 4th item.

13

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Common Level of Appraisal (CLA)

 The CLA is an adjustment to the education tax

rate to account for the gap between appraised value and actual value of property.

 The following chart shows the information for

each of Washington Central’s five towns.

 The changes in the CLA.  The Nonresidential Tax Rate is projected to increase by $.0154
