Question 1

Renewal and increase

Partly new

Who asks
Cuyahoga Community College District
Rate
2.5 mills (renews 2.1, increase of 0.4)
For each $100,000 of value
$67 a year (printed on the ballot)
How long
10 years
Pays for
Day-to-day running costs (current expenses)
Raises a year (estimate)
$74,067,000

For your $150,000 home

$100.50 a year

$8.38 a month

$150,000 ÷ $100,000 × $67.00 = $100.50

Lit: 2.5 of every 1,000 taxable dollars.

  • Part of this tax is already on the bill (the renewal); the increase is new.
  • The increase of 0.4 mill(s) works out to about $14 a year for each $100,000 (new money at the full rate). The ballot does not split its own $100,000 figure, so treat that as an estimate.
  • The ballot's $67 is less than 2.5 mills x $35 = $87.50 because a renewal is shown at its EFFECTIVE rate: Ohio's tax-reduction factors already trim what older levies collect from homes (LSC, H.B. 140).

These are costs before any credit or exemption (owner-occupancy credit, homestead exemption and others). Credits can only lower them. The ballot's own figures are used as printed; this reader does not check them against county records. How it works.
