Same tax rate as expired bond
This capital levy would take the place of a bond measure that expired at the end of December 2023. The expired bond measure rate was $0.44 per $1,000 of assessed property value. The capital levy rate is projected to be the same: $0.44 per $1,000 of assessed property value for all three years. And Battle Ground already has the lowest tax rate of all school districts in Clark County.
