Cut Property Taxes 10% for all Beavercreek city residents. Create 1% Income Tax for those who work in Beavercreek. Vote Yes for Fair Taxes! 68% of the income tax is paid by non-residents who work in Beavercreek and use our city services. Retirees and residents who work in other cities see no tax increase.

"The 1% Beavercreek city income tax is the fairest and most modern way to fund the services that keep our community safe, well-maintained, and thriving.

I strongly support Beavercreek's proposed 1% city income tax because it finally shares the cost of running our city with everyone who benefits from it, not just the people who happen to own homes here. Right now, Beavercreek relies almost entirely on property taxes, so residents carry the full load for police, streets, parks, and other essential services while thousands of non-residents drive our roads, use our infrastructure, and earn their paychecks here every day without contributing a dime to the city's budget. A modest 1% income tax ensures that people who work in Beavercreek help support Beavercreek — just as our residents do when they work and pay taxes in other cities.

Every community around Beavercreek already recognizes that an income tax is a normal part of funding local government, with rates commonly between 1.5% and 2.5%, and Bellbrook standing as the rare exception. By comparison, Beavercreek's 1% proposal is both competitive and conservative, designed to generate the revenue we need without overburdening families or making us less attractive to employers. It simply brings Beavercreek in line with how modern Ohio cities pay for police protection, street maintenance, parks, and other services we expect to be there when we need them.

This income tax is also a smarter, kinder approach for many residents — especially seniors and those already paying income tax in another city. Under the proposal, the city will permanently end nine existing property tax levies beginning in 2027, shifting the primary funding source off of homes and onto income. That means meaningful property tax relief for people on fixed incomes and for residents who already support another community through their workplace income tax but still want Beavercreek to be strong for their families and neighbors.

Unlike voted property tax levies, which mostly grow only when new construction is added to the tax rolls, income tax revenue naturally keeps pace with inflation and economic growth. Ohio's House Bill 920 has limited how much new revenue local governments can receive from rising property valuations since the 1970s, so even when your home value increases, the city does not see a corresponding increase in funding for police, streets, or parks. With costs and inflation rising faster than property tax revenue, Beavercreek faces growing gaps that will eventually require more frequent levy campaigns or cuts to services unless we modernize how we fund our community.

In today's economy, a city income tax is simply the most efficient and sustainable tool Beavercreek has to protect public safety, maintain our roads and parks, and invest in the infrastructure that supports our quality of life. By approving the 1% income tax, voters can secure stable funding, relieve some of the burden on property owners, and ensure that everyone who depends on Beavercreek — residents, workers, and visitors alike — helps pay for the strong, vibrant city we all want it to be."

"I have worked for more than 40 years outside of the Beavercreek community, paying income tax to Dayton at an excessive rate — much higher than the 1% that Beavercreek is asking for.

For all those working years, my money went to Dayton when, under the current proposal, 1% would have remained in my own community.

I definitely want the city income tax paid by Beavercreek residents who work outside of our community to stay in Beavercreek. You've got to pay it anyway — at least let it stay in Beavercreek and reduce our real estate taxes at the same time. VOTE YES."
