PROPERTY TAX IMPACT

If the bond referendum is approved by at least 60% of voters on November 4, 2025, the maximum tax impact would be $2.70 per $1,000 of taxable property value.​

  • For a home assessed at $200,000, this would amount to approximately $243.04 per year.

  • The annual tax impact for a $300,000 commercial property would be approximately $556.60.

 

Based on the average assessed value per acre of agricultural land, the annual tax impact would be $1.94 per acre in Van Buren County, $2.48 per acre in Wapello, $2.68 per acre in Henry, $2.93 per acre in Jefferson, and $3.72 in Washington.
