Does this affect my property Tax?

No, this is an earned income tax levy that does NOT affect retirement or social security

Is the levy permanent?

No, the levy is continuous, not permanent. In Ohio, a continuous earned income tax levy remains in effect until it is not needed or funding is replaced. This type of levy does not tax retirement income, Social Security, or property — it only applies to earned wages and self-employment income of residents.

By making the levy continuous, the school district can rely on a steady and predictable funding source without having to go back to voters every few years. This stability helps maintain essential programs, retain staff, and plan responsibly for the future, like an School Resource Officer.
