Franklin County voters will have the opportunity to approve a 0.75-mill property tax on May 5, 2009.
Metro Parks’ current 10-year levy expires at the end of 2009. Central Ohio residents have enjoyed the benefits of the previous 10-year levy. This levy will allow Metro Parks to continue to operate clean, well-maintained, safe parks that are open daily throughout the year and are free to the public while continuing to acquire and manage natural areas to protect wildlife and water resources.
How much will the levy cost?
The cost to the owner of a $100,000 home would be about $23 a year or about six cents a day.
