What Is The Tax Impact Of This Bond Proposal  If approved – would increase the debt service rate by .02  Impact of two cent increase  $100,000 home = $20 per year or $1.67 per month  $200,000 home = $40 per year or $3.34 per month  Cannot be higher due to state cap of 50 cents on debt service rate  Allen debt service rate is currently .4303. This will increase as bonds of 2008 are sold
