14 local tax issues are on the November 3 ballot in Columbiana 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 Columbiana County, including those of a school district or other district based next door. Of these, 5 ask for new money (a new tax, an increase or a bond) and 9 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, 172 tax issues reaching Columbiana County have been decided — 146 passed and 26 failed. Renewals passed 125 of 129; of the issues asking for new money, 18 of 39 passed; of the other 4 (replacements and issues the state’s list marks neither new nor a renewal), 3 passed.

    School district · based in Stark County

    Property tax, 2 mills · 5 years · from 2027

    Permanent improvements

    Continues a levy already on the bill. If it passes, the levy keeps going as it is today; if it fails, it ends when its current term runs out. When homes are revalued, the state cuts its rate so it collects the same total — so a home whose value rose more than most pays a little more of it.

  3. West Branch Local

    New School buildings

    School district · based in Mahoning County

    Property tax, 1 mill · 5 years · from 2026

    General permanent improvements

    $35 a year for each $100,000 of the county auditor’s value

    $100,000 × 35% = $35,000 taxed × 1 mills ($1.00 for each $1,000) = $35

    For a home the county values at $150,000: $52.50 a year $200,000: $70 a year $250,000: $87.50 a year

    These are first-year figures. A levy approved now is charged at its full voted rate, with none of the state’s rollback credits; when the county next revalues homes, the state lowers its rate so that it collects the same dollars. Your home’s county value is on your tax bill.

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’.
