Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Beavercreek public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Tax Reform Ballot Measure
Beavercreek voters will decide on a 2026 ballot measure to replace property taxes with an income tax, which could shake up how city services get paid for and how much you pay. It is a major shift in how the city collects revenue from residents.
Youth Group for Indian Culture Development Proposal
The Youth Group for Indian Culture will convert its Sunday-school facility into a weekday daycare serving up to 48 kids. Parking is tight (15 spaces), so commissioners capped enrollment and added fencing, screening, and emergency-gate requirements. Neighbors in the adjacent apartments may see more drop-off traffic twice a day.
Proposed Municipal Income Tax
Residents heavily debated the proposed municipal income tax, with some arguing it provides a fair tax shift and others vowing to launch ballot initiatives to abolish local taxes if it fails or returns for a sixth time.
2027 Tax Budget and Tax Rates
The city is planning the 2027 budget around the proposed income tax levy, with scenarios for passage or failure. The county reappraisal raised values about 17%, but rates drop enough that most homeowners' city levy bills stay roughly flat — about a 2% effective increase.
