The Auburn School District plans and structures school
bonds and levies to keep the total school tax rate
level, year after year -- as current bonds and levies
expire, new ones can go into effect without drastically
changing the amount you pay each year. This careful
planning allows for quality education and safe,
up-to-date facilities on a continuing basis. (Click here

Cost of Proposition # 1: Capital Improvements Levy
(Repairs and improvements to 19 schools and 6 support
facilities)
If approved, this school improvements levy will cost
$46.4 million. Taxpayers will pay for this levy over a
period of six years starting in 2010 as shown in the
“Capital Improvements Levy” portion on the chart below.

Total School Tax Rate…The bottom line to your
Property Tax.
Your Total School Tax Rate includes all ongoing
approved school bonds and levies. Previously approved
bonds and levies are carefully structured to expire at
different times in order to keep the Total School Tax
Rate level for taxpayers.
The addition of the Capital Improvements Levy will
increase your projected Total School Tax Rate by around
55˘* in 2010 and even less through 2015 as shown in the
chart below. (Click here to see the actual projected
annual rates.)
Example: If your home is assessed at $300,000, you would
pay 45˘ a day more than you are paying now.
