November 2019 Levy
November 2019 Levy
Note: The Loveland Schools combined issue on the November 5, 2019 ballot did not pass. The district is leaving these pages intact, including the FAQs, because they contain information that is still relevant and important. The Board of Education is reassessing and determining options in regard to a future ballot issue.
 
The Loveland City School District will have a combined operating and permanent improvement/bond levy on the November 5, 2019 ballot. The levy is needed to address urgent and much-needed facility renovations and additions across the district and to provide operating funds for at least three years to ensure that Loveland City School remains a strong, high-quality school district.
 
Operating Funds
 
Operating funds are used to pay for day-to-day expenses, such as utility bills and the instruction of our students, including salaries and benefits. Ohio’s public schools increasingly have to rely on their local taxpayers to fund their daily operations – in Loveland, only about 32% of the budget comes from the state, while nearly 60% must be generated locally, mainly through property taxes. The last operating levy was passed in 2014 and was promised to last four years. Through conservative fiscal management and consistent focus on cost-saving opportunities, the district has made the money last five and a half years.
Calculating the Tax
To understand how much the district’s 16.78-mill combined operating and permanent improvement/bond levy might cost your household, you will need to know your home’s appraised (or fair market) value as determined by your county auditor. Go to your local county auditor’s website and do a real estate property search:

For Hamilton County (https://wedge1.hcauditor.org/) 
To find the appraised value, referred to as “Market Value,” go to “Tax Distributions” in the right column.

For Clermont County (https://www.clermontauditor.org/_web/search/commonsearch.aspx?mode=owner)
To find the appraised value, go to “Values” in the left column.

For Warren County (https://www.wcauditor.org/Property_Search/) 
To find the appraised value, see “Value History” in the left column. The appraised value will be listed as the “True Value.”

The levy will cost taxpayers $587.30 annually (or $49/month) per $100,000 of appraised value as determined by your county auditor. 
 
[Note: On September 9, 2019 the Board of Education unanimously approved a resolution for a phased-in finance structure of the November 5 ballot issue. If passed, the cost will be reduced to less than half of the initial request for property owners in the first year and gradually increase over the following two years. To learn more, click here.]

For tax purposes, a home is taxed on its assessed value, not its appraised or market value. The assessed value is 35% of the appraised or market value. A home that is appraised at $100,000 is taxed on only $35,000. 
($35,000 x .01678*= $587.30/annually, or $49/monthly)

*.01678 equals the millage rate of 16.78.
