Physical Plant Equipment Levy (PPEL)

The College Community School District Board of Education is seeking a voter renewal of the tax levy used to maintain and repair district facilities. The current levy expires in 2024 so voters are being asked to renew the existing funding source for another 10 years. Renewing the Levy Will Not Increase the Property Tax Rate

What is PPEL?
The Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) is a voter-approved levy that serves as one of the primary annual revenue sources for funding school infrastructure and equipment repairs, purchases and improvements.

Will my taxes go up?
No. The current PPEL levy has been in place at $.67 since 1983 so this will maintain the current tax rate. The rate collected is one-half the maximum rate for the voter approved levy allowed by law.

• The Current levy generates about 1.7 M per year.
• The total annual tax levy rate has been at or below $16.64 since 2012. Current rate is $16.61 per thousand.
