* The bond will add $0.02 per $1,000 of assessed property value in the first year with an average increase between 2%-3% per year through 2030.
** The levy will add $0.27 per $1,000 of assessed property value through 2045.
The tax rate for the parks levy will be based on your 2026 taxable assessed property value.
If the assessed value of your home increases after 2026, it won't affect the amount you pay for the levy over the next 20 years.
Starting in 2027, the levy can go up by a maximum of 3% each year until 2031. After 2031, the yearly increase is capped at 1%.
