HB87 would renew the Gardendale Sub-District G-1 school tax by raising the rate to 13.9 mills, preserving the total existing ad valorem school tax, and requiring voter approval in a special election.
It sets up a special election in Sub-District G-1 (Gardendale area) to decide whether to adjust the current 5.1-mill school tax by 8.8 mills, bringing the total to a uniform 13.9 mills. If a majority of qualified electors vote yes, the total ad valorem school tax rate in Sub-District G-1 would be kept at 13.9 mills for future tax years. The change is to be carried out under the rules for Section 217(f) elections and would take effect immediately upon the Governor's approval, affecting property taxes paid by residents and businesses in the Sub-District G-1 area.
