Today we share an update on happenings in the village of Ashley. As the weather and the leaves turn, this northern Delaware County community is a very busy place.
Renewal of General Fund Tax on the Ballot
The Village of Ashley is set to renew a tax that directly benefits its general fund. This renewal, which will appear on the ballot, aims to collect an estimated $78,000 annually. The tax rate is capped at 6 mills for each dollar of taxable value, translating to $167 for every $100,000 of the county auditor’s appraised value. The five-year term for this tax will commence in 2023 and will be first due in the calendar year 2024.
