At the start of the Nov. 26 meeting during Open Forum, resident Brian Jones told the Silver Creek Township Board that his proposed 2025 property taxes on a 'garden lot' have increased nearly 1,000 percent. Jones also reported a dog running loose around Ellingwood Avenue; the board logged both items but no staff explanation or formal action was recorded in the minutes.
The board did not make an immediate determination on Jones' assessment concern during the meeting. The minutes record the comment for follow-up; residents seeking clarification on assessments should contact the Clerk-Treasurer for parcel-level information and explanation of how fire-assessments or valuation adjustments may affect bills.
