Here are the township and school levies on the May 2025 ballot

Voters in two Portage County townships and five school districts will decide proposed levies on the May 6 primary ballot. All the tax levies would be effective this year.

A reminder: Additional tax levies are new requests that would raise taxes. Replacement tax levies replace existing levies and revert back to the voted rate, but are calculated on the latest property valuations. And renewals do not raise taxes.

Fun fact: The state lists five school districts in fiscal caution, watch or emergency. Three of the school districts, all of which have levies on the May ballot, are partly or wholly in Portage County.
