Board Sets Tax Levy Rate For 2022-23

The Crawford County R-1 School Board set the 2022 tax levy at $3.91221 per $100 of assessed valuation, which has been lowered from 2021.

The levy was set during the board’s Aug. 25 meeting.

A public hearing was held prior to the meeting without any input.

Superintendent Dr. Kyle Gibbs said rate is “stagnant” since there was no re-assessment this year.

“It’s pretty much the same story as last year,” he told the board.

Included in the tax levy rate is $2.9871 for the incidental fund and 93.5 cents for the debt service levy.

The levy remains unchanged annually in exchange for voters approving bond issues.

The district last passed a bond issue in June 2020, which helped fund the STEM/Agriculture building at the high school, among other improvements.
