Background

According to Twinsburg Township, the Trustees adopted a Resolution to Certify the 1.69-mill continuing road and bridge levy on June 10, 2026 and a Resolution to Submit it to voters on July 8, 2026.

The Township says its two existing Service Department levies (0.80 mill inside millage and 2.76 mills approved in 2016) raise about $657,240 a year. State reimbursements for lost tangible personal property tax ended in 2025.

The Township says General Fund transfers to roads have averaged $100,000 a year since 2016 and are projected to rise from $350,000 in 2027 to $550,000 in 2032. The new levy would raise about $412,593 a year, or 32% of Service Department property-tax revenue.

Put on the ballot by Twinsburg Township Board of Trustees, July 8, 2026.
