WHY IS THE LEVY CALLED AN EMERGENCY LEVY?
The term “emergency” refers to a specific type of levy, defined by the state. An emergency levy collects only the specific dollar amount initially approved by voters.

HOW WILL RENEWAL OF THE OPERATING LEVY IMPACT MY PROPERTY TAXES?
Because this is an emergency levy, if property values increase, the specific dollar amount generated by this “emergency” levy remains fixed. The county will reduce the effective millage to collect only the dollar amount for which it was approved in 2003.

But wait... the ballot language says there is an emergency. What's going on?
This term “Emergency” as used on the November ballot is a legal term defined by the state of Ohio. There is no actual emergency. “Emergency” levies raise a flat dollar amount (in this case $2.69 million) instead of a specific millage rate.
