An approved referendum would not lead to an effective property tax increase for district residents, the district said in a release. Although the board does propose a 29 cent operating rate increase, the amount would be offset by a reduction in the levy for the debt service fund. As a result, taxpayers would still see a net decrease of approximately 6.8 percent in the District 113A portion of their property tax bills.
