 – How much more will this replacement levy cost the average homeowner? 
 A The current levy approved by the taxpayers in 2009 will be assessed at $1.94 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2012. A homeowner with a home valued at $300,000 would pay $582 in property taxes to the Peninsula School District. The proposed replacement levy estimates tax rates to be $2.14 in 2013 or about $642 for a $300,000 home. This would be $60 difference annually, or $5 per month.

Most should agree that this is a very small price to pay for the highly regarded level of education students receive in the Peninsula School District.  Let's see now, highly saught after level of education at one of the least rates of property taxes in Pierce County.  Seems like a no brainer to me. 

Thank you for your YES vote.
