Property tax, 6.5 mills · Continuing · from 2026

Current expenses

$227.50 a year for each $100,000 of the county auditor’s value

$100,000 × 35% = $35,000 taxed × 6.5 mills ($6.50 for each $1,000) = $227.50

For a home the county values at $200,000: $455 a year $250,000: $568.75 a year $300,000: $682.50 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.

Strongsville City Schools says 3.4 of these 6.7 mills continue its 2002 operating levy, which is ending, and 3.3 are new. On the 2025 tax bill that 2002 levy costs a home its owner lives in about $103 for each $100,000, so the bill would rise by about $131 for each $100,000 rather than $234.50. The levy calculator works it out as a replacement of the 2002 levy. Source: the district, as reported by Cleveland 19.
