What's on the Ballot?

Sylvania Schools has placed a 1% Earned Income Tax with a 1.7 Mill Property Tax Reduction on the November 3rd ballot. The 1.7 Mill Property Tax Reduction would decrease property taxes by $35 for every $100,000 of assessed home value. For example, a home valued at $300,00 would save about $105 per year with a 1.7 mill property tax reduction. 


The 1% applies to earned income only (W-2 and self-employment profit) not to retirement income.

 

Applies Only To: 

✅ Wages, salaries, bonuses, commissions - all employment income

✅ Self-employment income (Sole proprietorships, Independent Contractors (1099), Farm Income)

Does Not Apply to:

🚫 Social Security and Pension Income

🚫 IRA, 401k, 403b, 457, and Roth Distributions 

🚫 Investment Income – Interest, Dividends, Capital Gains 

🚫 Estate, Trust, Inheritance, Gifts, Life Insurance, Disability, Workers’ Comp, and Alimony Distributions 

🚫 All other Retirement Benefits and Distributions 


Only residents of Sylvania Schools pay the tax. Non-residents working inside the district do NOT pay. 


The last time Sylvania Schools taxpayers approved additional operating money was in 2016.

What's at Stake?

Prevent the Cuts. Protect Sylvania's Future.

 

Sylvania Schools do more than educate our youth. They support, inspire and prepare. They provide stability and safety. Sylvania students graduate with options because they are exposed to a variety of programs and services that meet their needs and allow them to fulfill their potential. From AP courses to athletics, students have the opportunity to embrace what makes them unique. 


Our children are the future. They deserve every opportunity to be successful. Those opportunities begin in our schools. Strong, well-funded schools protect property values, attract businesses, create jobs and strengthen communities. Show your support by voting YES on November 3rd. 

    Senior citizens support issue 7

    Doug & Laurie Dinnebeil, Sylvania Retirees

    "We’ve lived in Sylvania for 30+ years because strong public schools make our community thrive. Our children—and now grandchildren—have benefited from excellent academics and activities. Rising costs and state mandates mean we must pass this levy to protect quality education and prevent harmful cuts that affect families, home values, and our future. The earned‑income approach supports retirees, and we trust school leaders to use funds wisely. Vote YES for the Sylvania School Levy. " 

    "By supporting this levy, you aren't just funding classrooms; you are investing in a proven pipeline that turns local students into leaders."


    Josh Melick (Northview Class of 2013), Google

    "Our schools are truly the heart of this community, and a strong district not only supports our students' success but also strengthens our local economy and protects our housing values."


    Matt & Jessica Harsh, Sylvania Alumni & Parents

    "Sylvania Schools provided the foundation for both my academic and athletic success, and the strength of this district is one of the main reasons my wife and I have chosen to make Sylvania our home as we look ahead to raising our future children here."


    Alek West (Northview Class of 2019), UT Medical School

    "My son, Isaac, may never sit in an AP classroom or enroll in a career-tech program. But that is exactly why I support this levy. Because strong schools aren’t built for just one kind of student, they are built for EVERY student."


    Tara Haye, Sylvania Parent
