LAKE COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTIONS
CERTIFIED QUESTIONS AND ISSUES – Updated 2/19/19
May 7, 2019 Special Election
Order of Questions/Issues in 2019: State, Township, School and other districts, County, Municipal

#1 – Leroy Township (2 Precincts)  4.5 Mills Replacement Levy – Fire Operations – Five Years – Commencing 2019 Tax Year —– All precincts in Leroy Township

Annual Cost to Taxpayers: [4.5 mills x $35.00 = $157.50 per $100,000 of home valuation.

Replacement Levy  [Warning to all taxpayers!]

A Replacement Levy extends the term and conditions of an expiring levy. However unlike renewal levies, it takes present day property valuation into consideration.

Replacement levies generally benefit from the increase in value since the passage of the original “replaced” levy. If passed at the identical mills as the original levy, a replacement levy will normally increase your tax if the value of the property has risen since the original passage of the levy.

Another explanation: This type of levy has the same purpose as a renewal, but instead of renewing the previous levy at the effective millage rate, a replacement levy is imposed at the original millage rate of the levy that it replaces. This gives the district the benefit of any growth in local value that occurred over the life of the previous levy.
(Example: A five-mill, five-year levy would be replaced for five mills, instead of the 3.8-mill effective rate of the older levy.)

This type of levy cannot be used for an emergency levy, and unlike the renewal levy, cannot be combined with other changes in millage.

What is a Continuing Levy?  *******  [Warning to Taxpayers}********
