School Board members for the West Bend School District certified the 2015 tax levy of $36,564,033 at the October 27, 2014 Board of Education meeting. This levy represents a savings of $1.6 million, or 4.21 percent over last year’s levy.
The School Board approved an $8.61 tax rate for 2015, which is a decrease from last year’s tax rate of $9.17. Taxpayers will see a decreased mill rate of 55 cents per $1,000 of assessed value due to an increase in state aid and property values.
