TAXPAYER IMPACT

The Salt Lake City School District and its Board of Education are committed to completing all projects outlined in the 2024 Bond Proposal within the approved funding amounts. If, for any reason, the funds from the general obligation bonds are insufficient, we will use property tax revenue generated by the capital levy to complete the projects. If it becomes necessary to use capital levy funds, future capital projects will need to be delayed or canceled.

It is anticipated that passing the bond will increase property taxes by $38.33 per year ($3.19 per month) for every $100,000 in home value. The median value of a home in Salt Lake City is $576,000, so the anticipated tax impact on a median-value home is $220.80 per year. The anticipated tax impact on a business in the city is $67.70 per year ($5.81 per month) for every $100,000 in value.
