Tax Impact

• Assessed Value
• This takes the ratio tax levy and calculates the
  increase based upon an average home assessment in
  each municipality.
• This assessed value calculation can be done using
  either just the levy to be voted upon or the levy
  debt service
• This calculation, when used on a comparative
  basis can also be looked at two ways
• Prior year assessed value vs. current year
  assessed value or,
• A consistent comparison of current year assessed
  value
