• Anthony Wayne Local School District has a total Voted Millage (including Inside Millage of 2.10 mills – set by Lucas County Commissioners) of 65.37 mills for the General Revenue Fund; of which 21.77 mills is the current effective millage rate for tax collection. The District collect nearly $39,000,000 from local tax collections through the Lucas County Auditor.
• 1.77 mills is for the District's Emergency Fund that was originally passed in 2003 (4.85 mills) and generates $3 Million annually. This Emergency Fund comes up for voter renewal every 10 years. The last approval was November 2022.
• The District's current assessed valuation (2025) is $1,735,213,960. Assessed value is 35% of the sale value of your home. (i.e. home value $100,000 * 35% = $35,000 assessed valuation) As the District's valuation increases due to reassessment, its effective millage decreases, due to HB 920 which is a tax credit factor applied to voted millage. Therefore, as valuation increases, millage decreases, as it takes less millage to generate the voter approved tax dollars. Currently, 1 mill generates roughly $1,364,362 in the Anthony Wayne School District.
• 1.81 mills is collected annually for the District's Bond Retirement Fund. This pays the district debt owed from previously voter approved construction/renovations that occurred in the district. Roughly $4 million is collected annually. This millage is reviewed by the Lucas County Auditor on an annually basis and reduced according to the district debt schedule. The District's last refunding was completed in September 2022.
