JEROMESVILLE — Voters on Nov. 4 in Jeromesville will decide whether or not to pay more property taxes.
Village officials are seeking to raise $34,049 of annual revenue through two separate tax levies that will last for the next five years if passed.
One of them, a 2 mills levy, is expected to generate $20,635 each year, said Ashland County Auditor Cindy Funk. A property owner will be taxed $70 per year for every $100,000 of appraised value, she said.
The other levy — 1.3 mills — is expected to raise $13,414 each year. A property owner will be taxed $46 per year for every $100,000 of appraised value.
Jeromesville Mayor Randy Spade said the money, if approved by the voters, will go into the village’s general fund.
But he said officials will focus on using that money on “non-enterprise infrastructure,” such as streets and parks.
Non-enterprise infrastructure does not include water and sewer infrastructure.
“Our streets are in desperate need of revitalization,” Spade said.
The mayor added that a building on the village’s ball field is in need of a new roof.
