Lake County School Financing District Renewal Levy Information - Renewal Levy not a Tax Increase
October 10, 2024—Concord Twp, OH—The Lake County School Financing District Renewal Levy will appear on the November 5, 2024, General Election ballot. This is a renewal levy, not a tax increase.

The Lake County Financing District comprises the Madison, Painesville City, Perry, and
Riverside Local School Districts and the Educational Service Center of the Western Reserve is the taxing authority that collects and distributes the funds based on the agreed formula. The member districts created the financing district in 1990 to levy taxes to provide specific educational programs and services for districts that are part of the financing district. The funds are used for personnel, materials, supplies, and transportation for instruction in language arts, social studies, mathematics, fine and practical arts, health and physical education, science, and business education.

This is a five-year renewal of a 4.9-mill levy initially approved in 1990 and renewed in 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020. The current effective rate for residential taxpayers is approximately 1.93 mills, costing a residential taxpayer roughly $59.02 per year per year per $100,000 of valuation.
