1. Who imposes local property taxes?

In Ohio, all real and personal property taxes are calculated by the County Auditor and collected by the County Treasurer in each county. The amount of tax levied is based on inside millage, which is established by state law, as well as specific tax levies passed by the voters in each jurisdiction. Property tax in Ohio is levied in one year and collected in the next year.

2. How is the property tax rate calculated?

The estimated market value of your property, as determined by an appraisal process, supervised by the County Auditor, is multiplied by 35% to obtain the taxable value. The taxable value of the property is multiplied by the appropriate tax rate to establish the annual gross property tax. The gross tax is reduced by various rollbacks and reductions that vary based upon ownership, age and other factors to achieve a net tax. The net tax can be paid in a single, or in two installments.
