Proposed Odenville/Margaret Tax
Odenville/Margaret Community Proposed 15 Mill Tax Increase
On Tuesday, November 3rd, residents zoned for Odenville/Margaret Schools will vote on a proposed 15-mill property tax increase for the Odenville School Attendance and Tax District.
If approved, the funds raised would remain in the Odenville/Margaret attendance zone and could not be used elsewhere. The purpose of the proposed tax is to provide funding for a bond to construct a new Odenville Middle School on the campus of St. Clair County High School. Other capital projects would be considered after costs are finalized for a new Odenville Middle School.
The image below provides an early look at the proposed project. (Please note that as planning and design continue, the final appearance and features may change to meet project requirements and budget constraints.)
