Replacement education and operations levy
Vote by Feb. 11, 2025
If approved, the proposed levy would replace the expiring education and operations levy, which ends in December 2025. The replacement levy would start in January 2026. The levy would provide funding for programs and services that affect students in every BGPS school. Questions? Please email communication@battlegroundps.org.
What is the estimated cost* for me?
This levy calculator will add up the estimated local tax rate for 2024-2027, increasing the property value 3.5% each year.
*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 begins 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 seniors and disabled homeowners may be eligible for a property tax exemption based on income.
What do levies pay for?
Levy dollars make up the difference between what the state provides for basic K-12 education and what it costs to educate students and operate schools.
How can I learn about this levy?
Attend a presentation to learn about the levy and ask questions. All presentations are open to the public. Childcare and light refreshments will be provided at each presentation. Parents/guardians should bring an ID in order to access childcare.
In the event of a weather-related school closure, the presentation will be canceled. However, anyone may attend a different presentation.
For ASL services, please email communication@battlegroundps.org at least five days prior to the presentation that you would like to attend.
