Blackwell Board of Education is presenting this bond issue to replace the Elementary School Bond; which expires in June of 2022. It will be in the amount of $23,550,000.00 for 15 years. School Bonds are based on property taxes that is in the Blackwell School District only, not local sales tax. The following figures are based on the 2020 property taxes. This bond issue would raise the district mileage rate to 32.02. Our district’s current millage rate is 20.91. In 2007 when the elementary school bond passed it raised our millage rate to 34.86. This bond would be a little smaller increase than the 2007 school bond tax increase. It would be a 11.88% tax increase. For every $100.00 of property taxes paid, your property taxes would go up $11.88.
For Example: if your taxes were $600.00 you would now pay $671.28 $600 X .1188 = $71.28 + $600 = $671.28. This would be an increase of $5.94 per month on your property taxes. To view your taxes – go to the Kay County treasurer website, https://oktaxrolls.com/county/
