Bond, $11 million · 20 years · from 2026

Construct a natatorium & fitness/multipurpose center, furnish, equip, improve sites

$76 a year for each $100,000 of the county auditor’s value

The county auditor’s estimate, as the ballot states it: 2.15 mills a year on average over the life of the bond. Source: the Erie County Board of Elections’ sample ballot.

For a home the county values at $150,000: $114 a year $200,000: $152 a year $250,000: $190 a year

Borrows $11 million over 20 years, repaid by a property tax levy. Its rate is set each year to meet that year’s payments, so it moves around the estimate, and like any levy approved now it carries none of the state’s rollback credits. Your home’s county value is on your tax bill.

Property tax, 4.9 mills · Continuing · from 2027

Current operating expenses

$171.50 a year for each $100,000 of the county auditor’s value

$100,000 × 35% = $35,000 taxed × 4.9 mills ($4.90 for each $1,000) = $171.50

For a home the county values at $150,000: $257.25 a year $200,000: $343 a year $250,000: $428.75 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.

Property tax, 6.03 mills · 5 years · from 2026

Current expenses

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. Vermilion Local sits at Ohio’s 20-mill floor on the state’s 2025 rates, so its operating levies, this one among them, are no longer cut when homes are revalued: what they collect rises with values, which a 2025 law holds to inflation.
