While voters in Orange Township will see a new fire levy on the May 5 primary election ballot, township officials want to ensure the community understands the levy is simply a continuation of what was previously on the books.

You may notice that the upcoming 2-mill fire levy on the May ballot is listed as a new levy—but we want to provide some important context.

This is not a new tax, but due to changes in Ohio law, replacement levies are no longer permitted. Because of this, the levy must appear on the ballot as a new request.

The current levy expired in December 2025 and will continue to collect through 2026. This ballot issue is about continuing that funding so we can maintain the level of fire and EMS services our community relies on.

As Orange Township continues to grow, so does the demand for emergency services. This levy will help ensure we can keep pace—supporting staffing, equipment, and response capabilities to serve our residents safely and effectively.

Learn more about what this means for our community and stay informed as Election Day approaches.
