Issue 31: Portage Park District, replacement and additional tax levy, operating and maintaining parks, 1 mill for 10 years commencing in 2024, first due in calendar year 2025.
The county auditor estimates the levy will generate $4,548,000 annually, which amounts to $35 for each $100,000 of appraised value. An existing 0.5-mill levy expiring in 2023 will be canceled and replaced upon passage of this levy. Replacement and additional levies do represent a tax increase, but since the park district’s 0.5-mill levy expires in 2023, approval of Issue 31 would mean a 0.5-mill increase over what county property owners are currently paying.
