Jeff Garvas' Tax Calculator

A tool to calculate more accurate levy costs using your actual property tax records

This calculator will look up your Summit County property tax record and calculate what ballot issues would cost you should they pass. I strive to do this without unduly influencing your decision on the issues. (This is also why I never take a public position on School levies). As of 10/1/2024 only Issue 30 (Nordonia Schools) is being analyzed, and all math is identical to the previous Issue 10 Levy so far as I can tell

Full Disclosure

I started this calculator back around 2017 and my goal has always been to be unbiased. We all have opinions on these issues but my intent is to present you facts without influencing you to see it my way. I feel obligated to point out that I am both a Macedonia City Council member and served on the Nordonia Schools Steering Committee that looked at the state of our schools, the question of repair vs rebuild, and worked through the pros & cons of consolidating buildings. Our efforts led to the Board of Education putting Issue 5 on the ballot. One would think this means I want you to vote for Issue 5, but the reality is I want you to decide on your own if now is the time to rebuild our schools. 9/18/22 Update: I am not affiliated with any for/against campaigns and will only share high level voter sentiment data with all parties publicly through the web page. No personal information or address level polling will be disclosed to anyone.

To that end one thing I know I can provide is factual numbers. If you found the calculator useful and want to tip me feel free to Venmo me here
