What Is The Tax Impact

Of This Bond Proposal

If approved – would increase the debt service rate by .02 Impact of two cent increase

$100,000 home = $20 per year or $1.67 per month

$200,000 home = $40 per year or $3.34 per month

Cannot be higher due to state cap of 50 cents on debt service rate

Allen debt service rate is currently .4303. This will increase as bonds of 2008 are sold
