Cost Information

This is not a new tax. It renews an expiring Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) levy and maintains the current funding already in place for Pasco School District. 

Estimated Tax Rate

At an estimated rate of $2.17 per $1,000 of assessed property value, a home valued at $400,000 would contribute approximately $868 per year toward supporting local schools. That equals about $72 per month—or just $2.38 per day.

How Pasco’s Levy Dollars Are Spent

Pasco School District’s local levy provides critical funding that supports essential staff, programs, and daily operations not fully covered by state and federal funding. These local dollars help ensure our schools are safe, engaging, and supportive learning environments for all students.

4-Year Levy Amounts

The targeted levy rate is estimated at $2.17 per $1,000 of assessed property value. This is the projected rate the district is planning for in the upcoming levy cycle.

It’s important to understand that while the levy rate may change slightly each year, the total amount approved by voters does not. The rate is based on the total assessed property value across Pasco. As property values are reassessed or new homes and businesses are built, the rate adjusts to ensure the district collects only the amount voters approved—no more, no less.
