Let me assure you that when they increase the assessed value of your property your taxes will increase.

I think that everyone who purchased or owned property with an address in Baton Rouge believed they lived in Baton Rouge.

You're saying that someone who bought a house in that part of Baton Rouge 5, 10, 20, 50, 150 years ago didn't think they were moving to Baton Rouge, despite every service being provided by Baton Rouge and their addresses being in Baton Rouge?
Everyone who moved into the unincorporated areas did so KNOWING they weren't in Baton Rouge to avoid the higher taxes in the city limits.

If you ever read the back your property tax card that you get from the Parish Assessors Office you’d know if you lived in the city or if you lived outside the city because there are different tax districts.

Honestly, there isn’t much difference in taxes from BR proper to what I pay now in SG, but I expect that to change. BR is going to raise taxes.
Homeowners choose their homes depending on the neighborhood, distance to work, distance to schools, traffic, etc. Taxes are not that important.
My immediate goal for St. George is to get more control of some of the taxes I pay, and that those taxes would go to improve the quality of life in our city.
Later when we get our own school district, we will have another tool to compete for more residents and eventually SG will be a better place for everyone to live because our taxes will go to a good school district, good public safety, and a cleaner safer city.
I think we in SG can do all that and not raise taxes. We pay enough now.

Be fair. She is part of a side that believes declaring yourself a woman means you are a woman even if you still have a cock.

I get this but if EBR or EBRPSS built the schools for EBRPSS, it doesn’t seem like they would immediately transfer to SGPSS (once formed). But I’m not an expert either.
Well, we can probably agree that the courts will likely decide. For fun, here is what chatGPT said
quote:
When a new school district is created from an area previously served by another district, the distribution of assets such as school buildings typically follows specific state laws and local agreements. Here are the general approaches that might be taken:
- Transfer of Ownership: The school buildings might be transferred from the old district to the new one. This can be done through legislative action or through an agreement between the existing district and the newly formed district.
- Sale or Lease: The existing district may sell or lease the buildings to the new district. This arrangement would likely be part of a negotiated agreement that includes terms favorable to both parties, potentially influenced by the needs of the community and the financial conditions of both districts.
- NOT HAPPENING --> Shared Use: In some cases, the districts might agree to shared use of the facilities, especially if the separation is amicable and the logistics support such an arrangement.
The exact method depends on state laws, the specifics of the local situation, and the agreements reached by the involved parties. These processes often involve significant negotiation and legal considerations, especially regarding equitable access to educational resources for all affected students.
tldr: state law dictates this.

If St. George is allowed to form its own school district, then it's going to be interesting to see what happens when the legacy costs that the EBR school system is currently paying are offloaded on the new St. George School district. It's one of the reasons why taxes are so high in Zachary.
EBR got stuck with the legacy costs of Baker, Zachary, and Central. They are still funding those costs by the way.
Zachary’s taxes are so high because the people of Zachary decided they wanted to pay more for public schools after the breakaway than they were before. That was their choice, and they seem happy with their choice. Central also raised their taxes as well, and they seem happy. Baker didn’t raise the millage rates and they have been in financial difficulty ever since. Logically, you have to assume if St. George breaks away millage rates will go up, voters should educate themselves and just be aware of that when the time comes to vote.

Assuming property values increase because of the new city, that would mean more revenue even if millages remain the same.

Is St. George in a different parish 30 minutes away from Baton Rouge? I don’t really see the relevance.
I also grew up in an unincorporated village. We used the name of that unincorporated village on mail. in fact, the whole parish is unincorporated and there are multiple towns with names in that parish that have addresses with the name of the town and receive mail.
