There will be no school on Wednesday, February 12th.

The preliminary bond tax levy is 27 cents per $100 of valuation. This would equal $270 per year per $100,000 of property valuation. An individual tax calculator can be found here https://www.fillmorecentralbond.org/o/fillmorecentral2025bondinformation/page/financial-impact. The tax calculator will allow homeowners and AG Land owners to calculate their preliminary tax impact of the bond. AG Land is figured at a different rate than other property and the tax calculator will figure both for you.

Tobin Buchanan explains how LB2 (ag land is assessed at 50% for school bonds) affects the financial impact of the bond issue.
