The information in this notice with respect to increases in taxes is an estimate only based on current assumptions of the District as to the financing plan and estimates, including estimated market interest rates for the bonds and the taxable values of property within the County. The information is intended to provide an elector with some indication of the impact the issuance of the Bonds may have on taxes paid.

The County is obligated to levy taxes to the extent provided by law in order to pay the Bonds.
