We have been highlighting some of the projects that the Wapello CSD Voter Approved PPEL Levy has been able to fund either on its own, or partially with funding coming from other sources. Picking up where we left off yesterday, let’s take a look at the impact that this levy has on bare agricultural land (on a per acre basis) that is within the Wapello Community School District. We are down to just 2 Days until this important election to reauthorize this funding stream for another ten years! As a reminder the Voted Physical Plant and Equipment Levy Renewal Election will be held on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, at the Briggs Civic Center in Wapello. The polls for this very important election will be open from 7:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Let’s take a look at the impact that approving this levy for another ten years has on a agricultural property owner’s annual property tax bill. In the Wapello CSD, we collect a portion of the Voted PPEL as Income Surtax, and the balance from Property Taxes. That split between the two may change in ration from one year to the next, but what you will see in the illustration below would be the maximum in FY 23 if the ENTIRE AMOUNT were collected as property taxes. Thus, in any given year, the amount from Property Taxes would actually be LESS than what you see in the illustration below and the attached photo, depending on the percentage of Income Surtax used that year by the school board in their budget.
Agricultural Land (Bare Land on a Per Acre Basis) –
If you own a bare agricultural land within the Wapello Community School District you would take the actual 1/1/21 Average Assessed value of 1 acre of Ag Land in the amount of $1,401 and multiply that by the 1/1/21 Rollback (89.0412%) for a net taxable value $1,247 per acre. That $1,247 per acre is multiplied by the levy amount of $0.67 for an annual cost of $0.83580 per acre or $0.07 monthly per acre. So, a 160 acre farm would have an annual cost for this levy of $133.73 or $11.14 per month.
Any number of acres can be substituted into this equation, so 500 acres of bare ag land would look like this. 500 acres multiplied by $0.83580 for and annual tax cost for this levy of $417.90 or $38.83 per month if you look at it on a per month basis of the cost of this levy.
These are just a couple of scenarios, if you look at the chart in the photos, you will see many more scenarios that have been developed by our partners at Piper Sandler. You can calculate your own impact by inserting your number of acres that would be taxed at this rate and working through the equations above, or on the chart.
To learn more about this important funding stream and the projects that it funds, visit our website at www.wapellocsd.org and click on the menu button and look for the PPEL Renewal Election and look at the resources to get a better idea of the kinds of projects that we are able to fund because our voters have kept this levy in place for the past 24 years.

Louisa County Extension and Louisa County Farm Bureau brought Ag in the Classroom: The Amazing Milk Cow. In this lesson, students were introduced to dairy cows and that dairy products, like milk, come from these animals. Students had the opportunity to “milk a dairy cow”!
