Lake Park, IA (KICD) — Patrons of the Harris Lake Park School District got their first glimpse of what a bond issue might mean for property taxes Tuesday night. Travis Squires from the Piper Sandler Investment firm says even with a top rate of 4 dollars and 5 cents, HLP would right at the state average.

Squires advised the steering committee to educate property owners on how their taxes are calculated, saying they will be lower than many assume.

The committee last night decided to add a property tax calculator to their informational website to patrons better understand the full implications.

The 18.6 million dollar bond issue election will coincide with the regular City and School Elections in November.
