Empower school districts to impose new property taxes

Introduced in the House

April 21, 2011

Introduced by Rep. Vicki Barnett (D-37)

To allow certain school districts to impose up to three mills of property tax for operating purposes (as opposed to millages imposed to repay the debt on construction projects). Under the property tax caps created as part of the 1994 Proposal A constitutional amendments, requests for new local property tax millages to be imposed to cover school operating expenses are prohibited.

Referred to the Committee on Tax Policy
