§ 5705.315.
With respect to annexations granted on or after March 27, 2002, and during any tax
year or years within which any territory annexed to a municipal corporation is part
of a township, the minimum levy for the municipal corporation and township under section 5705.31 of the Revised Code shall not be diminished, except that in the annexed territory and only during those
tax year or years, and in order to preserve the minimum levies of overlapping subdivisions
under section 5705.31 of the Revised Code so that the full amount of taxes within the ten-mill limitation may be levied to
the extent possible, the minimum levy of the municipal corporation or township shall
be the lowest of the following amounts: (A) An amount that when added to the minimum levies of the other overlapping subdivisions
equals ten mills; (B) An amount equal to the minimum levy of the municipal corporation or township, provided
the total minimum levy does not exceed ten mills. The municipal corporation and the township may enter into an agreement to determine
the municipal corporation's and the township's minimum levy under this section. If it cannot be determined what minimum levy is available to each and no agreement
has been entered into by the municipal corporation and township, the municipal corporation
and township shall each receive one-half of the millage available for use within the
portion of the territory annexed to the municipal corporation that remains part of
the township.
