What stands out about how Orrville is run

Orrville’s K–12 school district, shared with Valley Grande. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $19,421 per pupil, $8,292 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Alabama districts overall: 31% local, 53% state, 16% federal.

No comparison or trend for Orrville yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Orrville’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only, so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
How Town Hall compares budgets →The typical homeowner pays $300 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 0.29% of the home’s value, vs 0.38% across Alabama.
Typical yearly bill next door and statewide
The Housing page’s calculator splits a monthly payment into loan, tax and insurance at Orrville’s rate.
Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
