According to a report from Assistant Superintendent for Admistrative Services Gary Grizaffi, the requested levy amount will likely be higher than the actual levy. That’s because this year’s equalized assessed valuation (EAV) of all properties within the district and new property values are still unknown.

By approving the tentative levy, the district will be able to request the maximum amount of property tax dollars allowable under tax cap laws. For 2012, any levy increase is capped at 3 percent.

If the final extension approved is in excess of the amount of funding actually needed, the board has until the spring to abate the excess taxes.
