The Brainerd School Board unanimously approved a 3.8% increase to the 2021 tax levy during a virtual meeting Monday, Dec. 14.
Many properties may see a tax decrease compared to 2019, as Finance Director Marci Lord noted during her presentation before the annual truth and taxation public hearing mandated by state law to take place before the levy is approved. A shortage of state funding and the district’s extensive facilities revamp were cited as two primary reasons for the increase. No one spoke in the public hearing.
