Notice to Property Owners: New website Feature on Upcoming Election and Tax Levies

Dear Property Owners,

It is my pleasure to announce that our website has been updated with valuable information regarding the upcoming General Election and the tax levies that will appear on the ballot in your taxing district.

To help you better understand the potential impact of these levies, we have added a "Levies" section to each property record. This feature includes detailed information such as:

  • The jurisdiction associated with the levy. 
  • The levy use, a brief description.
  • The number of years the levy will be in effect. 
  • The millage rate applied to the levy. 
  • The levy type (e.g. new, renewal, replacement).
  • A detailed description of each levy as described in the statute.

Additionally, you will be able to view a breakdown of your current tax amount per parcel, along with the proposed tax amount should the levy pass, and the amount of the change you can expect. 

You are encouraged to visit our website to review this information prior to the election so that you can make an informed decision. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please feel free to contact our office. 

Thank you for your attention, and we hope this update helps clarify how the upcoming tax levies could affect you. 

Sincerely,


Jill A. Davidson

Athens County Auditor

Auditor's Advisory - Helpful Resources
Ohio Checkbook

The Ohio Checkbook serves as the singular and most trusted resource for Ohioans to obtain local and state financial information. In November 2019, the Ohio Checkbook became a collective result of Lt. Governor Jon Husted and Ohio Treasure Robert Sprague unveiling a joint initiative aimed at enhancing government transparency by providing Ohioans real-time financial and transactional data.

The Ohio Checkbook is the result of this effort bringing together features from two first-of-their-kind - the Ohiocheckbook.com and Ohio’s Interactive Budget. Upon its launch in 2014, OhioCheckbook.com set a new national standard for transparency in government and was recognized three times by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group as being ranked number one in transparency for providing online access to government spending data. In six years, more than 1,150 local government entities around Ohio partnered with the Treasurer’s office to make financial data available through the website.

Ohio's Interactive Budget was launched in 2016, by the Ohio Office of Budget and Management (OBM), as a first of its kind comprehensive open checkbook that enabled users to see not only how state money is spent, but also how revenue is generated and allocated via the state budget. The Ohio Interactive Budget site was an extension of the state accounting system that provided the public access to the financial and transactional data maintained in the state's accounting system.

Each site's functionality and purpose has been preserved in the new Ohio Checkbook site, which merged the cutting-edge features of OhioCheckbook.com and Ohio’s Interactive Budget, placing them under one roof.
