On Tuesday, May 6, 2025, voters will decide on renewing a levy that helps maintain our schools, buses, and essential facilities—without increasing taxes.
At the January Regular Board of Education meeting, Members voted to place a five-year permanent improvement levy renewal on the Tuesday, May 6, 2025, ballot. The current five-year levy is set to expire on December 31, 2025. It has been approved by voters every five years since it was first passed in 1980. The Board is asking voters to renew the expiring levy at its current rate.
RENEWAL - NOT A NEW TAX
Levy Rate: 1.9 mills - voted rate, collecting currently at 1.17 mills
Annual Revenue: ~$1.7 million
Cost to Homeowners: Per $100,000 home value = $40.95 per year or $3.41/month
Renewing levy still qualifies for Rollback Discounts
- This is not a new tax. This would renew a five-year 1.9-mill levy passed in 2020, which expires at the end of this year. The rate would remain the same and would collect approximately $1.7 million annually. It would continue to cost the owner of a $200,000 home $6.82 per month.
- Without this levy, money for such things as repairs, buses, boilers and roof maintenance would come from the general fund, leaving less money to continue our educational programs.
- Permanent Improvement funds may only be used for maintaining facilities, purchasing buses and acquiring other educational equipment that has a functional life of at least five years. The funds may not be used for salaries or the day-to-day operations of the school district.
- Perrysburg Schools first passed a permanent improvement levy in 1980 and the community has renewed it every five years since that time.
