The Crawford County Children Services levy is up for renewal next Tuesday.
The renewal levy is for 0.5 mills for 10 years, amounting to five cents for each $100 of valuation. For someone with a house property value of $100,000, that would equal roughly $10.13 each year.
“On Tuesday, May 5 Crawford County voters will be asked to renew their support of Crawford County’s children by voting for a 10-year renewal of our current 0.5 mill levy,” said a statement released by the Crawford County commissioners. “We are not asking the taxpayers of Crawford County for any additional money at this time. At this rate, the levy will generate approximately $256,512.02 annually. This funding will enable us to continue to provide for the costs associated with the caring for children.”
Crawford County Children Services serves abused, neglected, and dependent children living in the county.
Texas Township also has a renewal levy on the May 5 ballot for current operating expenses. The levy is for one mill for five years.
