Your Home Value Rose 30%. Do Your Property Taxes Rise 30%?

An Ohio reappraisal can substantially increase a home's market value without producing the same percentage increase in its property-tax bill.

[ALT TEXT]

What This Graphic Shows

Ohio property taxes do not move one-for-one with changes in appraised market value. Taxable value, the mix of levies on a parcel, tax-reduction factors, and other statutory rules all affect the final bill.

For qualifying levies, Ohio's tax-reduction-factor system can reduce effective rates when carryover property values rise. Other taxes are treated differently, and Ohio enacted additional changes affecting inside millage in 2026.

Key Takeaway

A 30% appraisal increase is not, by itself, a 30% property-tax increase.
