It is part of my property tax. In the city where I used to live there was actually a school property tax and a school wage tax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-a-school-tax#post-2318300 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:39:00 +0000 petunia354 2318300@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not specifically, but I assume it is included in our property tax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-a-school-tax#post-2318255 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 18:09:39 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2318255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty sure that ours is just part of our basic property tax bill. I've never seen anything specifically broken out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-a-school-tax#post-2317853 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:24:29 +0000 yoursilverlining 2317853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours is just part of our city property tax bill.....which has gone up nearly 20% in the past 3 years......ugh...... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-a-school-tax#post-2317844 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:18:08 +0000 Mae 2317844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We have it as part of our normal city/property taxes but we also pay an additional tax because our school district and tax district are different. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-a-school-tax#post-2317832 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:12:49 +0000 Truth Bombs 2317832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't pay a specific school tax. We just pay a property tax to our county and they allocate from there. We actually have lower tax rates than the next county over but far superior public schools (some of the best in the nation). But, our county has much higher average home values that they can assess on, plus, the next county over contains a large city and their taxes go to things like stadiums and convention centers where ours have much less to cover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-a-school-tax#post-2317831 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:12:03 +0000 Mamaof2 2317831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I have no idea! I didn't know we had one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-a-school-tax#post-2317823 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:08:18 +0000 snowjewelz 2317823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't but it's b/c DH's job has an exemption. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-a-school-tax#post-2317813 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:05:44 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2317813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do! I thought everyone does?<br /> @regberadaisy: we have super high taxes but aren't in the best! Just highest taxes in the county! 😭 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-a-school-tax#post-2317812 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:05:26 +0000 lilyofthewest 2317812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think in some jurisdictions there's a just a basic county tax rate and then the county allocates the money to schools. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-a-school-tax#post-2317809 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 13:03:27 +0000 regberadaisy 2317809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I thought everyone did? In my experience higher school taxes in better districts! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-pay-a-school-tax#post-2317779 Tue, 13 Oct 2015 12:51:33 +0000 Mamaof2 2317779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just did a re-fi so I was looking at the numbers and was shocked at what the school tax was!<br /> Do you pay a school tax? </p>
