What Does It Cost?
The Technology, Safety and Facility Improvement replacement levy projected tax rate for each of the next four years depends on the final dollar amount of assessed property value within the school district.
Based on current information, the estimated tax rate per $1,000 of assessed valuation would be:
-
2027: 96 cents
-
2028: 96 cents
-
2029: 96 cents
-
2030: 97 cents
The above estimated rates represent a slight increase compared to the technology and safety levy approved by voters for 2023-2026, which estimated tax rates to be between $0.90 and $0.98 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. Every $0.01 change in property tax on a house assessed at $550,000 results in approximately $5.50 per year in additional tax.
Historically, Olympia School District has aimed to keep total OSD tax collections under $5 per $1,000 of assessed property value. While the tax rate associated with the new Technology, Safety and Facility Improvement Replacement Levy would be slightly higher, the combined estimated district tax rate from all voter-approved levies and bonds would remain in that historical target.
