Enter the dollar amount of taxes actually levied for the general fund as shown as the Final Levy on the

Enter the dollar amount of any temporary increased or excess levy that was in effect for the base year
but is not in effect for the current year. Start with the dollar amount of the increased or excess levy
as approved by the voters and apply any percentage increases that were added as authorized by the
legislature.

The calculated mill rate for the base year is the dollars of taxes levied divided by the sum of the taxable
value of the property subject to tax plus the taxable value of exempt* property.
18.
Enter the taxable value of taxable and exempt* property that was existing in the based year but is no
longer existing in the taxing district in the current year. Examples of reasons why the property no
longer exists in the taxing district include the following: destruction of property, demolition, removal of
structures or improvements, loss by annexation to another district. Do not include any change in value
caused by reassessment, change in classifi cation, change in value made by any board of equalization, or
loss in value caused by taxable property becoming exempt*.

not in effect in the base year.

Enter the amount by which the Mill Levy Reduction Grant for the budget year exceeds the amount of
the base year Mill Levy Reduction Grant. For 2009, this is the total amount of the 2009 Mill Levy
Reduction Grant. The base year Mill Levy Reduction Grant cannot exceed the budget year Mill Levy
Reduction Grant.
27.
The Mill Levy Reduction Grant received for the budget year must be deducted from the general fund
property tax levy before the Certifi ed General Fund Levy is entered.
