New Carlisle’s City Council members will vote Wednesday on a proposed property tax increase to support the city’s fire and EMS department.
Council members will discuss the details of the levy and vote at a special meeting at 7 p.m. in the Smith Park Shelter House. The meeting is open to the public.
If approved by the council, a 3-mill, five-year levy will be placed on the May 8 ballot. For a $100,000 home in Ohio, each mill costs $35, so a 3-mill levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $105 per year.
If passed, the additional tax would take effect in 2019.
