Technology Levy: How Much Will it Cost?
In 2009 the cost to the owner of a home of average value in the Port Angeles School District is projected to be about $99 per year. That is based on an initial tax rate of $.46 per one thousand dollars of assessed value. The 2009 projected median home value of $215,222 is based on calculations of the average rate of change in total assessed value in the Port Angeles School District over fourteen years.

Want to estimate how much you’d pay a year? Take your assessed property value. Divide your assessment by 1,000. Next multiply by the estimated rate (projected above). This will be your estimated technology levy payment.
As the table below shows, the Community Technology Advisory Committee’s recommendation has carefully timed levies and bonds to keep the combined rates at or below historical levels.
