Tax Lavy Rate To Be Increased

Dubuque Community Schools officials have increased the district’s tax levy rate, returning it close to the level approved two years ago, and homeowners will see an increase in the school district portion of their property taxes. According to a report, school board members voted unanimously to approve a $188.1 million certified budget for the fiscal year that starts July 1. As part of that budget, the district’s property tax rate will be set at $14.51 per $1,000 of taxable valuation.
