Ohio Property Taxes – What You Need to Know
from:Ohio property taxes are charged at the city and county level. Cities and counties in Ohio rely heavily on property taxes to fund their budgets. Tax rates are determined at the local level as well and can vary widely by area. Property taxes are used to fund items such as roads, police and fire support, public libraries and local school systems. In many areas, there are additional taxes levied for school districts.
Like in most states, the amount of Ohio property taxes you’ll pay is dependent upon two factors: the value of your home and the millage rate. The local tax assessor will estimate the value of your home and send you a notice regarding the fair market value of your home. Land that is used solely for agricultural purposes is taxed differently.
Then, when the budget is created, the tax department will use the combined property values for the area along with the revenue requirements to meet the upcoming budget to determine the millage rate. Generally, residential homes and land are taxed at about 40% of their fair market value. Counties and cities must hold a public meeting before the millage rate can be raised, but it can be lowered at any time.
Ohio ranks 21st among the states in terms of the amount of property taxes paid by its residents. The average homeowner in Ohio owns a home that is worth $129,000 and pays about $1600 a year in Ohio property taxes.
If you receive a notice from the tax assessor informing you of his determination of the fair market value of your home and you think it’s too high, you can appeal his valuation. Once you file your appeal, you’ll be given a hearing where you’ll be allowed to explain why you think the valuation of your home was too high. In turn, the tax assessor will explain how he arrived at his figure. If it is determined that your tax value is too high, you may receive a reduction in Ohio property taxes owed. Your property will be reappraised every six years.
Like most other states, Ohio also offers a homestead exemption for homeowners. However, this homestead exemption is not available to all homeowners. To qualify for the homestead exemption, reducing your Ohio property taxes, you must be low income and over 65 years of age or be permanently disabled. If you’re at lease 59 years of age and the surviving spouse of a deceased person who previously received the homestead exemption, you are allowed to keep it.
