Replacement education and operations levy
Election date: April 22, 2025
If approved, this levy would take the place of the education and operations levy that expires at the end of 2025.

What is the estimated cost* for me?
This levy calculator builds in a 3.5% increase in assessed value each year. Property value increases do not generate additional revenue for the district. BGPS can collect only the amount that voters approve.
*The tax rates used in this calculator reflect the local school tax rates for property owners in Battle Ground Public Schools. State school taxes are not reflected. Future tax rates are estimates. The tax amount from this page is an estimate and not an official quote or tax record.
The capital levy began in 2025 and ends after 2027. If approved, the replacement education and operations levy would begin in 2026.
Assessed values are set by the Clark County assessor's office and may differ from market value. (Find the assessed value of your property.) Some people may be eligible for a property tax exemption.
