In May, Northmont voters rejected a 7.2 mill levy which would have provided the district with around $5.8 million. It failed by over 700 votes.

The tax increase would have equated to $274 for every $100,000 in property value per year.

We will continue following how this impacts the district and update as new information becomes available.
