🚒 **LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FIRE LEVY: WHAT IS A MILL, AND HOW ARE YOUR TAXES CALCULATED?** 🏡

When we talk about a fire levy, it’s important to understand what you’re actually being taxed on.

🔥 **What is a mill?**

A *mill* is a unit used to calculate property taxes. In Ohio, 1 mill equals $1 in taxes for every $1,000 of your home’s assessed value.

🏠 **Are property taxes based on the actual value of your home?**

Not directly! In Ohio, property taxes are generally calculated using **35% of your home’s appraised market value**, not the full market value. This is called the *assessed value*.

Here’s an example for Licking Township:

If your home is worth $100,000:

• Market value: $100,000
• Assessed value (35%): $35,000
• Cost per 1 mill: $35 per year
• **Cost for the 4-mill fire levy: $140 per year, or about $11.67 per month**

That means the 4-mill fire levy would cost approximately $140 per year on a $100,000 home, before applicable tax credits or adjustments.

🚒 **Why does a fire levy matter?**
This levy is simply to increase daily staffing and make sure advanced care is available 24hours a day. Since 2015 our runs have increase by 40% and staffing our staffing hasn’t followed. Staffing is not just a Licking Twp problem it is problem in our region.

A fire levy is calculated based on the property's taxable assessed value and the levy rate—not simply the full price your home could sell for.
