- Beavercreek police, street levies on November ballot
(WYSO) Beavercreek residents will vote on two new property taxes in November. Beavercreek City Council Members voted Monday to place a 2.15 mill street levy to pay for the cost of maintaining the City’s streets, and to hire five new employees. The city says it will cost the owner of a $100,000 home an additional $75.25 annually. The City also will ask voters for a 2.5 mill police levy. That will cost the owner of a $100,000 home an additional $87.50 annually. That money will be used to pay for Police services and to hire five new officers. If passed, both levies will go into effect in 2023.
