Taxpayers across Miami County will be asked to consider two countywide tax issues — including the proposed replacement of the 0.4 mill county bridge levy with a continuing tax — and several local issues in the November general election.
The filing deadline for ballot issues for the Nov. 4 general election was Wednesday afternoon. The Miami County Auditor’s Office provided estimates for what taxpayers should expect to pay for local levies if they pass.
The following levies will likely appear on ballots, pending certification from the Miami County Board of Elections.
