Learn About The Proposed Plan’s Cost
On Tuesday, May 13, residents of Kingsland Public School District will decide whether to invest $11.5 million for an addition to our existing building that will provide space for physical education during the day, a multi-purpose large group room to be used for Community Education and additional flexible programming, locker rooms, a weights and fitness space, family restrooms, and storage.

Across the State of Minnesota, facility improvements for public schools are funded through property tax increases. Our district and school board are committed to using taxpayer dollars wisely across all areas, particularly for a proposed building bond referendum like ours.
If approved by voters, the district would invest $11.5 million into making improvements to our existing facility. The tax for the proposed plan would expire after 2050 or when the bonds for the project have been paid, whichever happens sooner.

This single-question ballot requests $11.5 million. For a $200,000 residential home in the district, the estimated tax impact would be $4.69 per month starting in 2026. Click here to use our tax calculator.
Do you want to know your estimated tax impact if the proposed referendum is approved by voters?
This proposal aims to close those funding gaps while providing the district the ability to preserve and protect its communities’ current investments while creating new learning spaces for our students and citizens.
Attention agricultural landowners!
The State of Minnesota’s Ag2School Tax Credit is a 70% tax credit provided to all agricultural property except the house, garage, and one acre surrounding the agricultural homestead. This is not a tax deduction – it’s a dollar-for-dollar credit and is an automatic tax credit paid directly by the state with no application required. This credit would remain at 70% for the life of the bond.
If the proposed plan is approved, approximately 38.97% of the total bond referendum’s principal and interest will be covered by the State of Minnesota’s Ag2School Tax Credit. This state-funded credit reduces the contribution percentage for agricultural landowners to slightly less than residential landowners.
