What do you want to know about school bonds?

Since 2021, West Clermont has engaged district stakeholders for feedback and discussion about challenges facing our district and ways we can address these for the future. We have conducted surveys, focus groups, Town Hall meetings, and building tours. We also developed a Citizens Advisory Commission and Community Advisory Team to study School Purpose & Design and Facilities. This Master Facilities Proposal is a direct result of stakeholder input, reflecting the community’s values and priorities for modern learning.

Yes. West Clermont Local Schools is on the May 6, 2025 ballot with a combined property and earned income tax bond levy.

The property tax is for 1.76 mills. The cost to property owners would be $61.60 per year per $100,000 of appraised home value. This would generate approximately $3.9 million per year for the district.

The earned income tax is for .25%. For every $50,000 of earned income the cost to taxpayers would be $125. This would generate approximately $5 million per year for the district.

Yes. A resident of the district who is a homeowner and has an earned income would pay both taxes.

Earned income is exactly that, "earned" income like wages. Examples of income that are not taxed include social security and other retirement pensions, earnings on investments (interest on savings and dividends), child support, and unemployment compensation.
