Voters Show Big Support For FHCPL Renewal Levy

The Findlay-Hancock County Public Library had a renewal tax levy on the ballot on May 6.

Unofficial results from the Hancock County Board of Elections show the levy passing handily with a little more than 75 percent of the vote.

Library Director Sarah Clevidence thanks the community for supporting the library, which she says is a place where everyone belongs.

The levy is for current expenses that the county auditor estimates will collect $875,000 annually, at a rate not exceeding 0.5 mill for each $1 of taxable value, which amounts to $12 for each $100,000 of the county auditor’s appraised value, for five years, commencing in 2025, first due in calendar year 2026.
