The 2024 proposed rate is higher than the 2024 Voter Approval Rate (VAR) of $.03316. If Court adopts a rate that is higher than the VAR, an election must be called at which the voters will approve or reject the adopted rate. If a tax rate election is called and does not pass, the rate for 2024 will revert to the VAR.
