Property owners in Davis County will soon receive notices about a proposed property tax increase by the Davis School District, aimed at maintaining essential services and addressing long-term financial challenges.
The Board of Education is considering the increase due to two main factors: a recent change in the state’s funding formula that will reduce district revenue by $8.2 million, and the cumulative impact of 15 years of inflation on the district’s capital budget.
