Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 5555.95, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 5555.95.
When one or more of the principal highways of a county, or part thereof, have been
destroyed or damaged by freshet, landslide, wear of watercourses, or other casualty,
or, by reason of the large amount of traffic or from neglect or inattention to repair,
they have become unfit for travel or cause difficulty, danger, or delay to traffic
passing thereon, and the board of county commissioners is satisfied that the ordinary
levies, authorized by law for such purposes, will be inadequate to provide the money
necessary to repair such damage, to remove obstructions from, or make the changes
or repairs in such roads as are rendered necessary, the board may annually thereafter
levy a tax at its June session, not exceeding five mills upon the dollar upon all
taxable property of the county, to be expended under its direction or by the employment
of labor and the purchase of materials in such manner as seem most advantageous to
the interest of the county, for the construction, reconstruction, or repair and maintenance
of such roads. This section does not authorize the board to refuse to make a levy for a road fund
under the laws relating to levies for road and bridge purposes.
