Wood County Auditor Matthew Oestreich announces that the levy estimator on the auditor’s website is updated for the Nov. 2 ballot. The website is located at https://auditor.co.wood.oh.us.
Oestreich encourages all Wood County property owners to take advantage of the detailed information available on the website. “The levy estimator is a valuable tool to inform voters of the impact on their taxes of upcoming levies,” he said.
To use the levy estimator, property owners can search on the website for their specific parcel and then click on the levy estimator button. Users can then view the current tax amount on their parcel generated by each levy, the new tax amount if passed, and the difference based on the current year tax value.
The website also lists the authority proposing the levy, the use of the levy, the type of levy (renewal, replacement, bond, etc.), the proposed mills, and the number of years the proposed levy will remain in effect.
“The parcel-specific information provided by the levy estimator will help voters make informed decisions,” Oestreich said.
There are 22 individual levies on the Nov. 2 ballot. For information on polling locations, please visit the Board of Elections website at https://www.co.wood.oh.us/BOE/. For any questions regarding the levy estimator or the auditor’s website, contact the Wood County Auditor’s Office at 419-354-9150 or auditor@woodcountyohio.gov.
