Voters in Defiance County will decide on a 1.65-mill property tax levy for Defiance Public Library System, which will be on the ballot on November 3rd. A 0.9-mill increase in building and running expenses for a new annex to be constructed on Fort Street across from Defiance Public Library is proposed, along with the renewal of the current 0.75-mill operating tax. Renovations to the current library would be part of the library’s construction project, which is expected to cost $8.3 million.
