| Additional notes on dislosure: | The School District levied mills based on this lower taxable valuation after taking into account the tax abatement. The total mills levied in FY 2019 were 265.74. The tax abatements resulted in an increase of mills but did not result in a loss of tax revenue as mills necessary to generate the revenue to fully fund the budget are based on the lower (adjusted) tax valuations. Recipient of abatement is OKO Properties, LLC/Western Building Center. Abatement began in 2010. |
