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.
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.

"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. "
