THE COST

Learn about the investment of the plan.

How much does this plan cost? How does this impact me as a taxpayer in the district?

Question One of the referendum was approved, but Question Two was not. The district will now invest $17.15 million, which includes all issuance and financing costs. Question Two proposed $10.8 million.

Like a mortgage payment, bond payments are made up of both principal and interest amounts. For Question One, the estimated tax impact on a $170,600 residential home in the district would be approximately $13.67 per month starting in 2024. The bonds will be issued for a period of 20 years.

Are you an agricultural landowner? Learn about the State of Minnesota’s Ag2School Tax Credit.

Ag2School is a 70% tax credit provided to all agricultural property except the house, garage, and one acre surrounding the agricultural homestead. This is not a tax deduction – it’s a dollar-for-dollar credit and is an automatic tax credit paid directly by the state with no application required. This credit would remain at 70% for the life of the bond.

Ag2School credits would pay for approximately 55% of the project’s total debt service payments.
