Election Day: November 3, 2026
Sumner-Fredericksburg Community School District
Bond Referendum
Property tax impact
If the bond referendum for the Sumner-Fredericksburg Community School District is approved by at least 60% of voters on November 3, 2026, the maximum tax impact would be $2.70 per $1,000 of taxable property value (not assessed value).
Here’s what that could potentially look like for different property types within the district:
-
Residential Property: A home assessed at $200,000 would see an estimated tax impact of $216.44 per year, or about $18.04 per month.
-
Commercial Property: A $300,000 property would see an estimated impact of $544.86 annually, or about $45.40 per month.
-
Agricultural Land (based on county averages):
-
Bremer County: $2.91 per acre
-
Chickasaw County: $3.02 per acre
-
Fayette County: $3.10 per acre

How does SFCSD compare?
The School Board and district leadership take their roles as stewards of taxpayer dollars seriously. Even with an approved bond, the district’s overall levy rate would remain at a fiscally responsible level, as district funds of state sales tax dollars will be used at a significant level to offset the use of local property tax dollars.
When compared to neighboring districts and members of the North Iowa Cedar League (NICL), 13 school districts have a tax levy rate for fiscal year 2027 higher than SFCSD.
Of the districts with levy rates higher than SFCSD, Hudson, Denver, Jesup, Grundy Center, Dike-New Hartford, Aplington-Parkersburg, East Marshall and Gladbrook-Reinbeck have all passed bond referendums since 2020.
