Elyria seeks court ruling on tax levy changes
Elyria officials plan to seek a Lorain County Common Pleas Court ruling over a county and state tax levy action that could shrink the operating levy from 0.75 mills to 0.63 mills and bring about about a $20,000 two year loss in tax revenue. The City Solicitor said the move follows reevaluations and the council must adjust levies to 0.39 and 0.25 mills. The decision could affect Elyria and broader county allocations, with debate over whether the action is valid and its impact on planned borrowing and services.
