Other Local Government Levies: In addition to strong results for school districts, Ohio voters also supported a wide range of local community services funded via property taxes:

• Townships: 442 of 496 levies passed - an 89% passage rate. Public safety levies (police, fire, EMS) made up more than half of all requests, with 90% passing.
• Libraries: 18 of 20 levies passed - a 90% passage rate. Both failed issues were new/additional levies, each losing by only a few points.
• Parks & Recreation: 43 of 47 levies approved - a 91.5% passage rate, one of the strongest in recent years. Defeats included one replacement levy in Clark County and two additional levies in Montgomery and Perry Counties.
• Children Services: 7 of 9 levies approved. One new levy failed in Adams County, and one renewal-plus-increase failed in Clermont County (narrow margin, recount likely).
