What would a $20 Million Open Space Bond Cost YOU?

The amount your taxes would increase if a $20 million open space bond is authorized (and then issued and spent) depends on the assessed value of your home.

As a general rule, the increase in real estate taxes to service a $20 million bond – at current rates – would be an increase of 1.61% of your total real estate tax bill.

The average assessed value of a home in Radnor is approximately $280,000.  For that home, the increase in taxes would be $112.37 a year, or less than $10 a month.

Below is a chart containing different assessed values and how much each household would pay annually to service a $20 million open space bond.

*  These numbers are based on 30 year debt issued at a rate of 4.5%
** The current real estate property tax burden for Radnor residents is as follows:
 
  School Taxes:  17.367 mills
  Township Taxes:      3.01 mills
  Delaware County Taxes:   4.45 mills
  Total Real Estate Taxes:   24.847  mills

     An open space bond of $20 million would add an additional .40 mills to this burden.
