Voters in Jackson Township will see two local issues on the May 5, 2026 election ballot. The Jackson Township OH May 2026 ballot includes renewal levies that support police services and road infrastructure within the township.

Both issues are renewal levies, which means they continue existing funding rather than creating new taxes. If voters approve the measures, the current funding for these services will remain in place. If either levy fails, the taxes tied to that levy would expire.

One of the issues asks voters to renew a 1.8 mill levy for police services. This funding helps support law enforcement operations in Jackson Township. The levy contributes to resources needed for policing, including staffing, equipment, and daily operations.

The second issue asks voters to renew a 2.0 mill levy for streets, roads, and bridges. These funds help maintain the township’s transportation infrastructure. Road funding supports repairs, maintenance, and improvements that residents rely on every day.

Because both issues are renewals, taxes would stay the same if voters approve the levies. The renewal simply continues the current funding levels already in place.

Estimated annual costs for homeowners remain consistent with the existing levies. For example, if the police services levy continues, the estimated yearly cost would be approximately:

• $63.00 per year for a $100,000 home value
• $126.00 per year for a $200,000 home value
• $189.00 per year for a $300,000 home value

For the roads and infrastructure levy, estimated annual costs would be approximately:

• $70.00 per year for a $100,000 home value
• $140.00 per year for a $200,000 home value
• $210.00 per year for a $300,000 home value

Local ballot measures like these allow residents to decide how their community funds essential services. The outcome of the issues on the Jackson Township OH May 2026 ballot will determine whether the township continues funding police services and road maintenance at current levels.

Residents will have the opportunity to vote on both levies during the May 5, 2026 election. Decisions made in local elections help shape the services and infrastructure communities depend on each day.

What to Know Before You Vote

Before casting your ballot, it’s important to understand whether an issue represents new funding or a renewal of an existing tax, and how that decision affects your household. Renewals typically continue current services at existing tax levels, while new levies or taxes create additional financial impact. Reviewing the purpose of each issue and how it applies to your community can help you make an informed decision that aligns with your priorities.
