On the ballot
25 local tax issues are on the November 3 ballot in Athens County
The November 3, 2026 general election
From the Ohio Secretary of State’s list of local questions and issues, as of September 18, 2026
Every property tax levy, income tax, bond and sales tax that reaches Athens County, including those of a school district or other district based next door. Of these, 9 ask for new money (a new tax, an increase or a bond) and 16 renew a tax already collected. Which are on your own ballot depends on where you live: your county board of elections has each precinct’s sample ballot and the exact wording.
How earlier votes went: since March 17, 2020, 152 tax issues reaching Athens County have been decided — 141 passed and 11 failed. Renewals passed 98 of 101; of the issues asking for new money, 16 of 22 passed; of the other 29 (replacements), 27 passed.

Where this comes from
The Ohio Secretary of State’s list of local questions and issues for the November 3, 2026 general election, as the state published it on September 18, 2026; the results replace it once they are certified. Tax issues only: liquor options, zoning and charter questions are left out. The state files each issue under the county its body is based in; this page lists it under every county it reaches. Earlier issues go back to 2020, from the state’s results for each election.
A new property tax levy costs $35 a year for every mill on each $100,000 of a home’s value, the figure Ohio ballots print: since 2013 a new levy gets none of the state’s rollback credits. A renewal continues a levy already on the bill: if it passes, the levy keeps going as it is today, and if it fails, it ends when its current term runs out. A school district’s budget forecast is its own, filed with the state; this site’s School budgets pages show every line, and the levy calculator works one out for your own home.
Nothing here is for or against any issue. The exact ballot wording is your county board of elections’.
