Levy Renewals

In the May 6th primary election, North Ridgeville voters will be asked to renew three existing tax levies. Revenues collected from these tax levies are used to fund essential city services, including public safety and maintenance and improvements to our transportation infrastructure.

These are renewal levies and will NOT increase taxes.

All three levies are effective for a period of five years. Combined, these levies generate over $5.1 million annually, allowing the City to continue to provide the services residents have come to expect and deserve.
