CHARDON, Ohio — Several Geauga County communities are asking voters to approve property tax increases that would raise money for roads and safety services.

Unlike renewal levies, the additional and replacement levies on the Nov. 4 ballot would increase what homeowners pay.

Early voting is already underway through the Geauga County Board of Elections.

Here’s an overview of the new taxes being sought.

In Ohio, one mill equals about $35 a year for every $100,000 of home market value, since taxes are based on 35% of assessed worth.
