MERCER COUNTY - Voters in three townships will see five-year property tax renewal levies on the Nov. 5 general election ballot.

Center Township

Center Township voters will decide on a five-year, 0.35-mill property tax renewal levy that funds parks and recreation.

The levy collects about $13,000 annually, according to Center Township Clerk John Sites. It would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $8 per year, according to the ballot language.

The levy was first passed in 2019.
