The rate for both local and state school-related taxes is estimated to be $6.45 in 2021.

Voters approve collection amounts for school levies. Tax rates are how much each property owner would pay per assessed $1,000. The actual rate may be different due to changes in state funding, property assessments and area growth; however, VPS can’t collect more than the amount that voters approved.

The estimated rates per thousand are:

  • 43 cents in 2021
  • 41 cents in 2022
  • 40 cents in 2023

To determine the amount for your property, divide the total assessment by 1,000 and multiply it by the rates above.

A home assessed at $350,000 would pay an estimated $150 for the first year.

The math:

350,000 ÷ 1,000 = 350

350 × 43 cents =  $150
