School taxes going up in U-CF district

Posted by ChaddsFordLive on June 25, 2009

Residents in the Unionville-Chadds Ford School District will be paying more school property taxes.

School board members passed a $69.3 million budget for 2009-2010 last week, a spending plan that calls for a property tax rate of 23.91 mills for Chester County residents and 20.68 mills in Chadds Ford, the only Delaware County township in the district.

With a mill being a tax of $1 for every $1,000 of assessed property value, Chester County property owners will pay $2,391 for a property assessed at $100,000. In Delaware County, the tax on a $100,000 property would be $2,068.
