On Tuesday, May 2, voters in each of the nine school districts in the KRESA service area will be asked to vote on whether to renew the Regional Enhancement Millage Renewal, a three-year, 1.5-mill property tax millage, which supports the operations of the public-school districts and charter schools in KRESA.”
Frequently Asked Questions.
Is this a new millage or a millage increase?
- Neither. It’s a renewal. If approved, taxpayers would continue paying the same millage rate they have been paying since it was first approved in 2005.
How much does PPS receive from this millage?
The millage provides about $425 per student. At PPS, this accounts for about $3.6 million per year in funding.
How much would this renewal request cost the taxpayer?
- Since the enhancement millage is a renewal, it would not cause raise your tax rate. You will continue paying the same tax rate, which is based on the taxable value of your home. A homeowner with a home with a taxable value of $75,000 (approximate market value of $150,000) pays ~$112.50/year, which is ~$9.38/month.
