Summit County Issue 53 — Coventry Township proposed tax levy (renewal)

Last updated Sat, Nov 7, 4:33 PM ET

Ballot measure · November 3, 2026 · Coventry Township voters

What it does
A renewal of a tax for the benefit of Coventry Township for the purpose of current expenses, that the county fiscal officer estimates will collect $275,521 annually, at a rate not exceeding 0.95 mill for each $1 of taxable value, which amounts to $23 for each $100,000 of the county fiscal officer’s market value, for 5 years, commencing in 2026, first due in calendar year 2027.
A YES vote means
Coventry Township would renew a tax of up to 0.95 mill ($23 per $100,000 of the county fiscal officer's market value) for current expenses, for 5 years starting in 2026.
A NO vote means
Coventry Township would not renew this 0.95-mill tax.
What it would cost
Up to 0.95 mills for 5 years. The ballot puts the cost at $23 a year for each $100,000 of the county fiscal officer’s market value. Your tax bill or county auditor shows your home's value. 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).
