Donations are accepted during Haysville Senior Center business hours. Q: Who qualifies for help from the Haysville Food Bank?

The designated proxy will still be required to provide your license/ID and current utility bill for each distribution. Having a designated proxy does not guarantee that you will receive food. Food is still distributed on a first come, first serve basis. Commodities will not be given to another person without a completed proxy form.

City Budget Mill Levy: The mill levy to fund the 2026 budget for the City of Haysville is 40.341. The value of each mill is based on the total assessed valuation of the City and is per $1,000. The valuation is $99,386,829 making one mill worth $99,386.83. Example ; To calculate the taxes on a $100,000 home, multiply the appraised value ($100,000) by the percentage for residential housing of 11.5% ($100,000 x 11.5% = $11,500). The result is the assessed value of the home, or $11,500, and this is what the tax is based on. Multiply the assessed value ($11,500) by the total mill levy (city + state + county + school district) which is 142.838 and then divide by 1,000. The total tax due on the home would be $1,642.64. The same process would apply to a $200,000 home: $200,000 x 11.5% = $23,000 x 142.838 / 1,000 = $3,285.27. Remember to add on the cemetery mill levy if you are assessed for one. 2026 Notice of Public Hearing/Proposed Budget Sales Tax Projects
