I verified most of the data below but if there is anything that you don't trust please verify
If your home valuation goes up, your school taxes go up — no matter what charts the district shows.
David C. Bills and the West Genesee Board may present “average impact” numbers, but your actual tax bill is based on your home’s assessment. And assessments in this area almost always rise. I guess this is cool if you don't plan on retiring here or you never fall on hard times. I am sure David C. Bills will be there for you.
So even if they say the rate is flat or down, that doesn’t matter. Your tax bill rises. Every. Single. Time.
“10 straight years of levy increases — about 29.4% more collected from taxpayers than a decade ago.”
Passing the Capital Project does NOT freeze or limit school taxes.
They can (and historically do) raise the school tax levy every single year on top of the new capital project tax.
So maybe Camillus is far more Affluent than I know,
