#24 Franklin Township – Proposed Tax Levy (Additional)
This measure asks voters to approve an additional 15.9 mill property tax levy for fire protection services in Franklin Township. The levy would cost approximately $557 per $100,000 of the county auditor’s market value and would continue for an ongoing period beginning in 2026. Funds would support fire and emergency services.PRO:Fire and emergency services help protect residents and property. Supporters say these services contribute to community stability in addition to public safety.CON:Opponents note that higher property taxes increase the cost of homeownership and may impact affordability for residents. Property taxes may also affect the cost of renting, as some costs may be passed on to renters.
