If passed, the proposed Newberg Schools Levy would raise approximately $6.1 million at a rate estimated not to exceed $1.20 per $1,000 of taxable assessed value within the district for five years. For example, a homeowner in the Newberg-Dundee School District with a mean assessed value of $330,000 would pay approximately $33.00 per month.

Local option levy funding, and all district finances and expenditures, are subject to accountability measures including regular audits and School Board and citizen Budget Committee oversight to ensure funds are used as intended. 

What happens if the Measure does not pass? If the measure does not pass, the previously announced staff and program reductions would proceed and property taxes would not be increased.

Newberg-Dundee Public Schools has one of the lowest rates in the region when compared to neighboring districts.

The chart on this page details the 2024-25 voter-approved tax rate per $1,000 of assessed value for property owners living within the district. The $1.40 shown represents the Capital Improvement School Bond passed by voters in November 2020. This bond allowed the district to construct a new elementary school and make critical updates and repairs to all schools.

The current Newberg School District voter-approved property tax rate is 1.28 per $1,000 of assessed value. The 2025-26 rates have not been published by the Oregon Department of Revenue as of this date.
