Learn how much you’ll pay if the levy passes

What will be your total property taxes if voters approve the Newark Schools’ May levy request for 7.5 mills?

There is a calculator on the Licking County web site that will determine the amount for you. It’s fairly convenient to use once you find it and enter the information it needs.

Here’s how you do it: From the Licking County home page - http://www.lcounty.com/ - click on “eCounty” in the menu bar and select “Taxes, Real Estate and Collections.”

This takes you to the “OnTrac” page where you can search for your property by entering your last name, first name.

This will bring up a table with your parcel number. Click on the parcel number and you’ll see your address, property values and other data.

Go to the menu bar and click on “tax” and select “calculators.” You’ll be asked to select the proposed levy. Once that’s done, the additional amount you’re going to pay will appear.

To find the total tax if the levy passes, you need to add this additional amount to the amount of your existing property taxes. To find that number, go back to the menu bar and select “tax” again, then under that, select “taxes.” Bingo! Here’s your present tax bill. All that’s left is to add the two figures.
