What is The Mill Levy?

Since 1998, Teton Conservation District has received a portion of its funding by a majority vote for the Conservation District Tax on the general election ballot every four years, which has allowed the district to request up to one mill of assessed property value annually.

Though Teton Conservation District may collect up to one mill, the Board of Supervisors chose to collect only 0.6 mill in 2022, reduced from 0.8 mill in 2021. At 0.6 mill, Teton Conservation District’s allocation is about 1/100th of the average property tax bill, or one penny for every dollar of property tax paid. As property values have increased, Teton Conservation District has chosen to maintain a consistent level of funding by reducing our mill levy request.
