Eleven of Luzerne County’s 12 school districts have increased real estate taxes for the 2018-19 fiscal year, according to new county assessment office records.

Northwest Area School District is the lone exception, with a tax rate remaining at 10.7452 mills.

A mill is $1 tax on every $1,000 in assessed value of real estate.
