As old debt is paid off through the secondary property tax rate, new bond debt takes its place, resulting in no increase in the tax rate provided the assessed value of property remains at least at its current level. Based on current projections, the bond tax rate is expected to remain the same and/or decrease from the current rate of $0.85 per $100 of assessed value, down from $1.10 in 2021 per $100 of assessed value.
