What stands out about how Napoleon is run
Read from the city’s budget and official records.
Napoleon Area City School District
Napoleon’s K–12 school district, shared with Florida, McClure, Napoleon Township, Damascus Township, Freedom Township and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $15,237 per pupil, $9,801 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Ohio districts overall: 53% local, 35% state, 12% federal.

No comparison or trend for Napoleon yet
The fair comparison uses 2022, the last year the Census Bureau counted every government (later years are a sample), and Napoleon’s 2022 operating figures are mostly a Census estimate, so they aren’t compared. It reported 2022 only (2024 is an estimate), so there is no trend yet either. The next full count is 2027.
How Town Hall compares budgets →The typical homeowner pays $1,677 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 1.14% of the home’s value, vs 1.31% across Ohio.
Typical yearly bill next door and statewide
The Housing page’s calculator splits a monthly payment into loan, tax and insurance at Napoleon’s rate.
Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate.

The Census reports one month’s payroll (March); yearly figures are that month × 12, an estimate. Part-timers count half in the bar lengths.
Napoleon’s votes are counted by county
Ohio reports official results by county and precinct, not by city, so there are no official results for Napoleon alone, and we don’t estimate them. These are Henry County’s results.
