TAX IMPACT
An approved general obligation bond referendum would have an estimated property tax impact of up to $1.96 per $1,000 of taxable value (not assessed value).
For a $250,000 home in the Panorama CSD, this would result in an annual increase of approximately $222.91 (or $18.58 per month). For a $400,000 home, the tax impact would be an estimated $362.36 per year.
For a commercial property assessed at $1 million, the annual tax impact would be approximately $1,638.85.
For an agricultural property assessed at $1 million, a property owner could expect to see an annual tax impact of approximately $1,432.84.
Panorama CSD's debt service levy was $2.30 per $1,000 of taxable value for many years until debt was recently retired from a 2007 bond referendum used to construct Panorama Auditorium. With an approved bond in November, the district’s debt levy of $1.96 would still be lower than what local property taxpayers have been accustomed to.
Calculating the tax impact can be a little complicated due to the state rollback and Homestead Credit. Below is a five-step process to provide some clarification:
Panorama Community School District’s cumulative levy rate is $10.50 per $1,000 of taxable property value, well below its average over the past 18 years of $13.10. With an approved bond in November, the district's total levy rate would still be lower than this average.
The district's current levy rate ranks as the third-lowest among the school districts in the West Central Activities Conference. Panorama CSD also has a lower fiscal 2026 tax levy rate than neighboring Guthrie Center ($12.18), Earlham ($12.93), Van Meter ($16.07), and Woodward-Granger ($18.86).
