TYPES OF LEVIES (A Majority affirmative vote is necessary for passage):

Additional Levy is a new levy voted for the first time for a specific purpose and rate.

Renewal Levy is a continuation of an existing levy for the same purpose at the current millage which has been reduced by House Bill 920 (Inflation Fighter). The taxpayer is not being asked to pay any more money than was originally authorized by vote.

Replacement Levy is an existing levy for a specific purpose at the original rate intended to increase revenue on a higher tax base. A higher tax base occurs annually due to new construction, reappraisals, or updates.

Charter Amendments (Oberlin City)

Charter Amendment is a proposed change to a municipality’s governing document. Every ten years a Charter Review Committee studies the charter and then makes recommendations for changes that must be voted on by the electorate in order to take effect.
