Highland CUSD5

How will Highland use CSFT revenue?

  • At least 50% of CSFT revenue will be used to reduce property tax for constituents. This amounts to an estimated tax rate decrease of 22 cents, which corresponds to a tax cut of $73 per $100,000 of property value or a potential savings of:

    • 1CMS-SocialMedia-Highland-2018$73 per year for a $100,000 home
    • $109 per year for a $150,000 home
    • $146 per year for a $200,000 home
    • $182 per year for a $250,000 home
