Lafayette School Corp Expects $1.2 Million Loss from Property Tax Caps

From the Lafayette Journal and Courier:
...

In other business, chief financial officer Eric Rody updated the board on the anticipated loss of revenue due to property tax caps.

It is estimated LSC will lose $1,217,399 this year due to the caps that restrict schools and other government entities from collecting property tax amounts higher than a certain percentage of each parcel’s assessed value.

Rody said that amount will be broken down proportionately between the district’s four property tax-supported funds: about $608,000 from the debt service fund, about $353,000 from the capital projects fund, about $187,000 from the transportation fund and about $55,000 from the bus replacement fund.
