About Property Taxes in Ohio
Ohio property taxes are administered at the county level, with each county having an auditor (who assesses property values), a treasurer (who collects taxes), and a Board of Revision (which handles appeals). Property is assessed at 35% of its appraised (market) value — this 35% figure is called the assessed value. Ohio taxes are paid in two installments and are collected partially in arrears, meaning the bills you pay in the current year cover taxes for the prior year. Rates vary significantly by location, with the total effective rate depending on the sum of all overlapping taxing districts — counties, cities, townships, school districts, library districts, and others. Ohio's effective property tax rates are moderate by national standards, averaging around 1.4% of market value.
Payment & Assessment
Ohio property taxes are paid in two installments. Due dates vary by county, but common schedules include: First half: Due in late February or early March (often February 5 or March 31 depending on county) Second half: Due in late June or early July (often June 20 or July 31 depending on county) Contact your county treasurer for the exact due dates in your county. Late penalty: A 10% penalty is applied to any unpaid installment after the due date. Continued non-payment can result in a tax lien and eventual tax certificate sale. Most counties offer online payment through the county treasurer's website. Payment by mail, in person, and sometimes by phone is also available. Some counties offer a partial payment plan — contact your county treasurer for details.
