MARSHALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS Tax Levy Hearing for the 2019 – 2020 School Year August 20, 2019
The Hancock Amendment • This amendment, passed in 1980, allows school districts to raise their operating fund tax levy ceiling to $2.75, in the instance it is lowered (to remain revenue neutral) by other revenues. • In Marshall’s case, the revenue from the pipeline caused the tax rate ceiling to be lowered to $2.68 in 2016. Amendment 2 allowed it to be set at $2.75. • Then, in 2017, Marshall voters approved restoring the previous levy of $3.12 from $2.75. • Board needs to approve implementing Amendment 2.
Locally Assessed Valuations ASSESSED VALUATION Real Estate valuation increased by $868,839. Personal property valuation decreased by $366,855. Assessed valuation of the Marshall School District increased by $501,984.
Tax Rate Proposed If tax rate remains at $3.12, tax receipts should increase district revenues by $18,626 over 2018 – 2019 revenues.
Tax Levy Roll-Back • The MO State Auditor has set the tax levy ceiling at $3.1697. • Because the Marshall voters approved to restore the tax rate to $3.12 in 2017, this is the rate that is proposed for 2019 – 2020. • This means Marshall taxpayers will not be charged the full amount of permitted tax, with a roll-back (or decrease) of .0497 • This equals $45,115.28 less than could be taxed.
