2023 Replacement Levy
On November 7, 2023, patrons of the Nampa School District will have the opportunity to vote on an $14.78 million replacement levy to support students and teachers.
This levy will be in effect for two years and will replace our current levy that expires on June 30, 2024. The levy needs a simple majority to pass.
Funds will be allocated as follows:

How will the Proposed Levy Affect Your Property Tax Bill?
The Nampa School District collects a fixed property tax value each year. As more homes are built and existing home values increase, the individual tax burden goes down. The average home value in Canyon County is now about $432,000 (Zillow 2022). This is the difference in approximate total NSD levy rate between the years:
| 2023 | 2024 | |
| Assessed Home Value | $432,000 | $432,000 |
| Homeowner's Exemption | $125,000 | $125,000 |
| Taxable Value | $307,000 | $307,000 |
| Tax Rate | 0.96 | 0.76 |
| NSD Total Tax Bill | $294.72 | $233.28 |
Levy Resolution:
The estimated average annual cost to the taxpayer on the proposed levy is a tax of $72 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value, per year, based on current conditions.
The proposed levy replaces an existing levy that expires on June 30, 2024, and that currently costs $59 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value. Therefore, if the proposed levy is approved, the tax per $100,000 of taxable assessed value is expected to increase by $13 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value.
However, due to the recent State of Idaho Property Tax relief the Nampa School District will no longer need to levy to pay off our previous bonds. Currently we have been paying $34 per $100,000 of taxable value.
**As a result of this relief, the anticipated new levy rate will be $20 less per $100,000.
