2012 Maintenance and Operations Levy
On February 14 Pasco citizens will vote on the regularly scheduled two-year Maintenance & Operations Levy. This is not a new tax. It would renew the levy that was approved in 2010 and that expires in 2012.
This levy would be collected in calendar years 2013 and 2014 and provide for programs in three school years - 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2014-15.
The estimated rate is $4.51 per $1,000, a decrease of 4 cents per $1,000 from what voters approved in 2010. The actual assessed rate has typically been less than the advertized rate.
