Lucas County Issue 13 — County of Lucas: Imagination Station Property Tax (Renewal, 0.17 mill)

What it does

PROPERTY TAX (RENEWAL - 0.17 mill, 5 YEARS, COMMENCING 2027, FIRST DUE 2028) Operation and maintenance of the Imagination Station.

What it would cost

0.17 mills: $17 a year for every $100,000 of taxable value (a mill is $1 per $1,000). Ohio taxes 35% of a home's appraised value, so that's about $5.95 per $100,000 of appraised value; renewals often collect less than the full rate because of Ohio's tax-reduction factors. Taxable value is after exemptions such as homestead; your tax bill or property appraiser shows yours. It would continue a tax already in place rather than add a new one.

Needed to pass

A simple majority: more than half of the YES and NO votes on this measure must be YES. Leaving it blank doesn't count either way.

Left–right lean

Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).
