Have you had a chance to notice the two new Prairie Township signs when heading West? One sign is positioned at the 270 exit into the corridor, while the other sign is located when heading West onto Hubbard Road. Once AEP completes the lighting installation, the signs will shine brightly.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the CIC for their generous donation of the signs.

NOV 4th - BALLOT FOR VOTING FRANKLIN COUNTY AUDITOR'S - LEVY ESTIMATOR =======================================
You pay real estate taxes on 35% of your property’s appraised value. This is then multiplied by the effective tax rate of voted levies to obtain the amount of property tax owed. (You may review your property’s effective tax rate by looking at the tax bill you received from the County Treasurer.) At any election, you may have one or more levies on your ballot, which could change how much you pay in property taxes. To see the estimated impact on your property taxes, use the form provided below. Property owners may also use this form to see how their property taxes are distributed to the various political subdivisions within Franklin County. All values returned are estimates, as Franklin County calculates tax distributions by political subdivision and not by individual parcels.
