Why Copley is seeking a new fire levy instead of replacing existing levies

Copley officials are seeking a new 1.7-mill fire levy on the Nov. 3 ballot. The move follows a change in Ohio law that eliminated replacement levies starting in 2026, preventing the town from replacing existing levies to generate more revenue.
Copley officials said replacing two existing fire levies could have generated about $1.7 million more annually, but Ohio eliminated replacement levies beginning with 2026 elections. Voters will instead decide Nov. 3 on a three-year, 1.7-mill additional levy.
