Senate Bill 190/Taxes
This past week, real estate tax bills arrived in mailboxes across the county. You may have noticed that the layout looks a little different this year. Due to the implementation of Senate Bill 190, which provides tax relief to senior citizens, public taxing entities must now display two separate line items on tax bills. This includes the Elsberry School District.
For the 2024–2025 school year, the Elsberry School District’s tax rates were as follows:
Incidental Fund (Operating Levy): $3.3843
Debt Service Fund: $0.9300
For the 2025–2026 school year, the rates are:
Incidental Fund (Operating Levy): $3.3178
Debt Service Fund: $0.9300
Because Senate Bill 190 applies only to the operating levy, these two portions of the total tax rate must now appear separately on your tax bill.
What You Will See on Your Bill
In past years, all public school tax rates appeared on a single line. Beginning this year, that information will appear in two parts:
Elsberry SD – This is the District’s Incidental Fund (Operating Levy), which is used for salaries and benefits, utilities, curriculum, supplies, and general operating expenses.
Elsberry SD Debt – This is the District’s Debt Service Fund, which is used exclusively to make payments on bonds that fund the construction and maintenance of school facilities.
This update only changes how the information is displayed. It does not raise taxes, change the levy, or add any new tax.
Your Total School Tax Rate Has Not Increased
Even though you will now see two lines instead of one, the total tax rate remains the same for each school year. This is simply a new reporting requirement.
Why Some Tax Bills Still Increased
If the total amount due on your bill increased this year, the change is due to your assessed valuation increasing, which is determined by the county assessor’s office. School districts do not determine or influence assessed valuation.
If you have questions or need additional information about your tax bill, you are encouraged to contact the Lincoln County Assessor’s Office or the County Collector’s Office.
