Staff demo shows property-tax savings website, estimates ~$2,000 saved per household since 2022
Summary
A staff member named Melissa demonstrated a district-linked website that pulls Nebraska tax data and shows levy changes and school-credit savings; she said the typical household has saved "almost $2,000" since 2022 and explained how users can search by address or last name.
Melissa, introduced by the chair, demonstrated a property-tax savings website she built that queries Nebraska tax records and displays annual valuation, levy, prior-year levy and total savings for a parcel. "So you can also see that statewide school credit, and it gives you a total savings," Melissa said during her presentation.
She highlighted the site's search conveniences — converting addresses to USPS format and allowing search by last name to find multiple parcels — and said the tool is linked on the district website and available via its own domain. "Since 2022 has saved almost $2,000 with the reduction of the levy," Melissa said when illustrating the effect on a $100,000 valuation. Board members thanked her and asked clarifying questions; no formal action was required for this informational item.
