Park Levies & Ballot Issues
Licking Park District
Licking County Property Tax Replacement & Increase for Parks, Trails and Recreation
Muskingum Valley Park District
Muskingum Valley Park District Operating Levy
The Muskingum Valley Park District owns and operates parks and public gardens in Zanesville and Muskingum County. We do not have a dedicated funding source for operational expenses and have historically operated through the generosity of private foundations and government grants. We will lose a significant portion of our operational funding on December 31, 2021. The Board of Park Commissioners will place a 0.2 mill property tax levy on the November 2, 2021 ballot. The levy will expire after five years and cost the owner of a $100,000.00 home approximately $14.00/year.
Columbus Proposed Ordinance No. 1
NO on Issue 7
Issue 7 would take $87 million out of the city’s general fund, which is roughly 10% of the total city budget. It would cause massive cuts to city services, including public health, emergency services and parks.
Great Parks of Hamilton County Tax Levy
Support Great Parks of Hamilton County!
This fall voters have a choice when it comes to the future of their Great Parks of Hamilton County. Residents will have the opportunity to vote in favor of a 10 year, 0.95 mill levy that will keep Great Parks great.
Friends of Preservation Parks
Support Preservation Parks of Delaware County Tax Levy
A new 0.4-mill levy for 10 years for operations and land acquisition, to generate $3.7 million annually and cost property owners $14 a year in new taxes.
Portsmouth
Yes for Clean Energy Choice
This fall, Portsmouth residents have the opportunity to join the list. Yes for Clean Energy Choice will help save money on electricity while bringing jobs to the region. Community choice aggregation has been put to use by many Ohio cities since the early 2000s when it was first enabled by state law. Twenty-five Ohio communities, including Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, and 14 southeast Ohio communities have used this tool to go 100% renewable.
Fairfield County Parks District Levy
YES on Issue 2
Funding for Fairfield County Park District is provided by a ten-year, countywide property tax that was renewed in May 2021. Currently, per year, the levy costs $ 9.61 per $100,000 of property valuation for an owner-occupied home. For example, the owner of a $300,000 property currently pays $ 28.83 per year ($ 2.40 per month). A resident whose property is appraised at $150,000 would continue to pay only $ 1.20 per month!
Protect Lake Metroparks
YES on Issue 2
During the pandemic, Lake County Residents broke all records with over 4 million visits to our parks, with an increase of 690,000 visits from the previous year! To meet that demand and to continue to be there for you, Lake Metroparks is asking for your support for Issue 2, a property tax renewal of 0.8 mil. and increase of 0.4 mil. for a total of 1.2 mill. Issue 2 is a small investment to protect our Metroparks that costs only $1.17 more per month, just $14 more per year, for every $100,000 of property value.
