Your levy dollars make the difference
The local reinstatement levy is the second largest funding source for the Marysville School District's overall budget. The levy is not a new tax and is a lower tax rate than the last four-year measure approved by voters in 2018.
The tax rate is proposed at $1.67 per thousand. On a home valued at $600,000 (the median home price in Marysville), the estimated cost per year is approximately $1,000.
The local reinstatement levy is an investment in the future of children, schools, and the community.
The local reinstatement levy provides necessary funding for enrichment activities for children from preschool through high school.
Ballots will be mailed by the County on or around January 27. Please REMEMBER TO VOTE on or before February 14, 2023.
