Frequently Ask Question's

Why is the district holding a referendum?

Frazee-Vergas can qualify for additional funding associated with seasonal recreational property taxes, but the district must have a voter-approved Operating Referendum in place to access those dollars.

How much additional money could the district receive?

Approximately $230,000 in additional redirected tax dollars.

Will my property taxes increase because of this proposal?

According to the district's referendum plan, the proposal results in zero tax impact to local property owners. Existing Local Operating Revenue would decrease by the same amount that the Operating Referendum increases.

Why does the ballot say I'm voting for a property tax increase?

The ballot is required to state the increase associated with the Operating Referendum. However, the district will simultaneously reduce Local Operating Revenue by the same amount, resulting in zero tax impact under the district's plan.

Where does the additional $230,000 come from?

The district's materials explain that taxes from seasonal recreational properties can be redirected from the state to qualifying school districts that have the required Operating Referendum in place.

What happens if Question 1 does not pass?

The current Local Operating Revenue remains in place.

When is the election?

Tuesday, November 3, 2026.
