Board opens public hearing on proposed FY25 property tax, sets $13.55 per $1,000 as the maximum

The Chair of the Ogden Comm School District board opened a public hearing on the fiscal year 2025 proposed property tax and announced a proposed maximum rate of $13.55 per $1,000.

“The public hearing is open,” the Chair said, adding the figure: “$13.55 per thousand.” A staff member noted that the figure is the maximum before state supplemental aid decisions and legislation: “Please know there's a lot of things that haven't been determined yet as far as, like, state supplemental aids,” the staff member said, adding that the final rate could be lower when those amounts are settled.

Board members solicited public comment; none was offered in the meeting and no written comments were recorded. The Chair closed the hearing after confirming there were no concerns.

What happens next: the board recorded the hearing and moved on to subsequent agenda items. The proposed $13.55 rate is presented as the maximum; the district will finalize an adopted rate only after state aid values and related legislation are clarified.
