Vote Yes on April 7, 2026
If passed, how would the bond impact my personal and property taxes?
The Sikeston R-6 school levy will remain 63 cents per $100 of value. This mean no increase in the school levy.
School levy including debt would go from $3.864 to $4.284 on personal and property tax multiplied by $100 per assessed value.
Take School R-6 line from 2019 tax assessment receipt and multiply by 1.11. The total will be your assessment for R-6 beginning in 2020.
The bond will increase the School R-6 tax by 11 percent on your county assessment.
Examples
$660 (2019 property tax) X 1.11 = $732.60 in 2020
$124 (2019 personal property tax) X 1.11 = $137.64 in 2020
