Following the tragic house explosion in neighboring Twinsburg Township in June, Mayor Sam Scaffide placed a moratorium on drilling, boring and other underground utility work within the City of Twinsburg. The pause provided the City with an opportunity to review its procedures and determine what additional safeguards could be put in place to protect residents.

Since then, the City has worked with regulatory agencies, utility companies and contractors to develop stronger guidelines and provide greater oversight of underground utility work.

Beginning Wednesday, September 9, drilling, boring and other right-of-way utility work will be permitted to resume in Twinsburg under these enhanced requirements.

Among the changes, contractors and subcontractors must be registered with the City and provide advance notice before beginning work. Residents directly affected by upcoming work must receive written notification at least 10 days in advance.

The City has also strengthened utility locating requirements, improved communication with contractors working in neighborhoods and increased its ability to stop work when proper procedures are not being followed.

While no set of procedures can eliminate every risk associated with underground utility work, these additional requirements will provide the City with greater oversight and help ensure contractors are following established safety procedures.

The City appreciates the patience and understanding of residents while this work was paused and will continue to closely monitor underground utility work throughout the community.

Many of you have recently shared questions and concerns about the City’s Streetscape Design Guidelines 2026, and we appreciate everyone who has taken the time to read, comment, and care about the future of Twinsburg. Your feedback matters.

As the project moves into its next stages, the draft will be reviewed by the Planning Commission and then move on to City Council for consideration. This is an important time for residents to learn more, ask questions, and be part of the process.

We encourage you to visit the Together Twinsburg Streetscape project page, review the materials, and submit your questions and feedback through the site. We see and appreciate the conversations taking place on social media, but it is very important that we also collect feedback through this organized platform. Doing so helps us document your comments, identify common questions and concerns, and ensure your voice is part of the process before the draft report is finalized.

Residents are also encouraged to attend upcoming Planning Commission and City Council meetings as the project moves through the public review process. These meetings provide another opportunity to hear the discussion firsthand and stay involved as decisions are considered.

Ask questions. Share your thoughts. Get involved.

The best plan moving forward is one that has been thoroughly reviewed, openly discussed, and shaped with the involvement of the residents it is intended to serve.

Help Shape the Future of Downtown Twinsburg! The City of Twinsburg is excited to share the Draft Streetscape Design Guidelines for public review. This document establishes a long-term vision for the appearance and design of our downtown streets and public spaces. It

Property Value Notices Are on the Way

Beginning today, Summit County property owners will start receiving their 2026 property value notices in the mail.

Ohio law requires every county to reappraise property values every six years. The values in these notices will be used to calculate property tax bills mailed in January 2027.

One question we often hear is, "Where do my property tax dollars actually go?"

Many residents are surprised to learn that the City of Twinsburg receives only 4.79% of the property taxes paid by homeowners. In fact, Twinsburg’s share is lower than many neighboring communities. The property tax revenue received by the City is specifically dedicated to supporting the Police and Fire Departments.

The largest portion of the property taxes paid, about 67%, supports the Twinsburg City School District, with the remainder funding Summit County services, the Cuyahoga Valley Career Center, Twinsburg Public Library, Summit Metro Parks, and other countywide programs.

The accompanying graphic shows how a typical Twinsburg property tax bill is distributed.

It's also important to know that the day-to-day operations of the City of Twinsburg are funded primarily through municipal income tax, paid by the people who work in Twinsburg, not through property taxes. Those income tax dollars support the services residents rely on every day, including police, fire, EMS, road maintenance, parks, snow removal, community programs, and other essential City operations.

If you have questions about your new property value, the Summit County Fiscal Office has appraisers available to discuss your valuation by phone, virtually, or in person. A convenient in-person session for Twinsburg residents will be held:

Twinsburg Community Center
10260 Ravenna Road
Monday, August 24
Noon – 8:00 p.m.

You can also review your property's 2026 value online by visiting the Summit County Fiscal Office website, selecting Property Tax and Appraisal, and ensuring Tax Year 2026 is selected.

The deadline to discuss your property value with a Summit County appraiser is August 27, 2026.

We encourage everyone to review their notice, understand how property taxes are distributed, and reach out to the Summit County Fiscal Office if you have questions about your valuation.
