I received the following question from a resident recently:
“What percentage of my property taxes go to pay for the clubhouse?”
It’s election season, so as per usual there tends to be quite a bit of misinformation flying around. I’m putting this together to hopefully provide some info and to correct some misunderstandings.
The short answer to this question is ZERO. Not a single dollar of your property taxes goes to the clubhouse.
Some residents think Twinsburg’s surplus was wasted on paying debt for a clubhouse. They ask… Where did our money go?

I was thrilled to be able to attend Mayor Yates’ State of the City this morning at the Clubhouse at Gleneagles.
