Both Pickerington levies (schools & libraries) failed by close margins.
November 2, 2026
Pickerington Local School District Income Tax Levy
Pickerington Schools proposed income tax increase of 0.75% on Ohio taxable income. Added to the district’s existing 1% school income tax (total 1.75% if passed).
Per the district, “We have not passed an operating issue since 2011. This has resulted in deficit spending since 2022, largely due to an increase in student enrollment of. Without increased revenue, we will spend through our reserves by Fiscal Year 2029.”

Pickerington Public Library Property Tax Levy
Pickerington Public Library asked votes to approve a new 1.5-mill continuing levy to fund ongoing library operations and the construction of a new building to replace its Sycamore Plaza location. For a property valued at $300,000, the levy would cost homeowners about $13.25/month ($159/year).
