SECTION 4957-15-14.2.1

Establishing Levies – How It WorksFor 2013 taxable year you may levy the amount in dollars up to 12% of what your district levied for 2012 taxable year up to a total of for a combined levy of 82 mills.

The maximum amount of the 10 mills available for a district by board vote for 2013 is capped at a 12% increase which would translate into a 7.2 mill increase. If a district has no additional mills for tech-HVAC-Alt HS this would be the maximum they could raise in mills.

The additional 12 mills above the 60 mills are to include any levies that districts had levied that year for those levies that will be lost (tech – Alt HS –HVAC-etc) in the 2014 taxable year and replaced with the 12 mill miscellaneous. District A would include dollars generated by .11 mills tech and .11 mills for HVAC (.22 mills)

District B would include dollars generated by 5 mills for tech and 3.36 mills for Alt HS (8.36 mills)

District C would include dollars generated by 5 mills for tech and 7 mills for HVAC (12 mills)

The dollars generated from the levies in 3 above would be included in their base line for 2013 for the 12% rule in dollars

The total mills of all of the above cannot exceed a total combined levy of 82 mills as stated in first bullet above.

SECTION 49Establishing Levies – How It Works

Here is Are Examples for Three Districts Would Work District A would include dollars generated by .11 mills tech and .11 mills for

HVAC (.22 mills) District B would include dollars generated by 5 mills for tech and 3.36 mills for

Alt HS (8.36 mills) District C would include dollars generated by 5 mills for tech and 7 mills for

HVAC (12 mills)

The dollars generated from the levies in 3 above would be included in their base line for 2013 for the 12% rule in dollars

The total mills of all of the above cannot exceed a total combined levy of 82 mills as stated in previous slide above.

Here’s how the above districts mill levies would play out: District A = dollars generated by 60+00.22 = 60.22mills x 1.12% = 67.45 mills District B= dollars generated by 60+08.36 = 70.56 mills x 1.12% = 72.20 mills District C = dollars generated by 60+12.00 = 72.00 mills x 1.12% = 80.64 mills
