Passage of Proposition No. 1 would allow Tahoma School District No. 409 to renew an expiring levy for educational programs and operations. The proposed levy would authorize collection of supplemental annual excess property taxes of $31,233,375 in 2027, $32,795,043 in 2028, $34,434,795 in 2029, and $36,156,535 in 2030.
If voters approve this proposition, these taxes would be deposited into the District’s General Fund and used to pay for day-to-day school operations to meet student needs not funded by the state, including but not limited to: the arts, athletics, extracurriculars, specialized instruction, teacher training, and staffing to support district operations, safety, and wellness.
Based on projected assessed valuation information, the District estimates a tax rate for this proposed levy of $2.37 per $1,000 of assessed value for each of the four collection years (2027, 2028, 2029, and 2030). A property tax exemption may be available to certain senior or disabled homeowners who meet specified income limits.
