Multiple levies on Washington County ballot

MARIETTA — A number of levies will be on the ballot in Washington County, including school levies and EMS levies.

In Belpre, the Belpre City School District is seeking renewal of an existing levy.

The purpose of the levy is to provide for the emergency requirements of the school district in the sum of $825,000 and a levy of taxes to be made outside of the ten-mill limitation estimated by the county auditor to average 3.18 mills for each $1 of taxable value, which amounts to $111 for each $100,000 of the county auditor’s appraised value, for a period of 10 years, commencing in 2025, first due in calendar year 2026.

Approval of the levy would not add to district residents’ property taxes. It was first approved by voters in 1989 and passed each time before failing in the March primary by a vote of 1,001 to 938..
