If you own a home in Cuyahoga County, two property tax increases look headed your way. (developmental disabilities) and (health and human services) each had more than 60% of the vote Wednesday morning, according to unofficial results.

Cleveland.com's early count of mail and early in-person ballots had Issue 10 at 65% and Issue 11 at 63%. County Executive Chris Ronayne has said HHS-funded departments would need to cut budgets by at least 8% next year without Issue 11.

Both levies led by wide margins in the early count
