We have created a simple online calculator and chart that will help taxpayers determine how each of the two proposed 24-25 budget scenarios would impact their tax bill. You can then utilize the link to the Cambria County GIS site where you can find your “Total Assessed Value.” Enter that figure into the calculator, and you will see how each scenario individually impacts your tax bill. (*Note: The District was able to reduce Option B from 2.25 to 1.75 through additional attrition).
Comparison of Preliminary Budget Proposals:
Option A: Status Quo Elementary Grade Levels Configuration (JES and CES both K-5)
Total Millage Increase 5.56 (3.81 24-25, 1.75 25-26)
Option B: Merge Grades 3-5 (Determined Possible by Feasibility Study)
Total Millage Increase 1.75 (1.75 24-25, No Increase 25-26)
In order to calculate your tax rates under the two proposed budgets under consideration, you must first locate your assessed value(s). That information can be gleaned from the Cambria County GIS site. https://cambriapa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=63b2ec2459fe474995ece6d91cb5f384
In the upper left corner, enter your street address and zip code. (i.e., “208 Schoolhouse Road 15931). When you click “enter” or “Return” after entering your information, the map will take you to your property. Click on the blue dot over your house. A box will appear. Click on the right arrow until the relevant information is located. Near the middle of the screen, it should state **Property Details**. Look for “Total Assessed Value:” That number is the one that you will use to determine your tax rate.
