MWCD Maintenance Assessment
In 2009, the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD) began work under its Amendment to the Official Plan of the MWCD, which was adopted in 2005. The Amendment to the Official Plan is funded through an assessment of property owners in the Muskingum River Watershed according to Ohio law.
Collection of the assessment also began in 2009, with the MWCD estimating that it will generate between $9 million and $10 million annually through the assessment. Nearly 500,000 parcels of property are subject to payment of the assessment, with nearly 95 percent of those properties assessed a total of $12 per year.
Assessment funds can be used solely for maintenance and rehabilitation projects and are audited by the State of Ohio to ensure compliance.
The MWCD is committed to a fair and equitable system of assessment. Staff members at the MWCD are available to assist property owners who have questions.
The Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District is absolutely committed to safeguarding our area by maintaining our dams and reservoirs for future generations.
Staff from the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District are available to conduct an administrative review of the assessment assigned to your property or properties.
In an effort to recognize the efforts of individuals in conservation, watershed stewardship, education and implementation of best management practices, an assessment credits program was developed, giving landowners the opportunity to reduce their annual assessment.
