SB 38 in Utah establishes a charter school property tax levy starting in 2017. This amendment ensures fair distribution of local school district property tax revenue to charter schools based on student count and per pupil revenues. The charter school local levy calculation is not a tax increase but rather an adjustment in the district board levy. Taxpayers can now track the portion of their property taxes going to support charter schools.
