Trotwood voters will see an important local issue on the May 5, 2026 ballot. The City of Trotwood is asking residents to consider a renewal levy that supports current operating expenses, including funding for police services.

Because this measure is a renewal levy, it continues existing funding rather than creating a new tax. If approved, the levy would maintain financial support for city services that residents already rely on. If the measure does not pass, the levy would expire and the property taxes associated with it would no longer be collected.

Local ballot issues like this one help determine how communities fund essential services. The decision made by voters will impact how Trotwood maintains current public safety and municipal operations moving forward.

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.
