What Property-Tax Relief Does Ohio Already Provide?

Ohio property-tax relief is a collection of different mechanisms with different eligibility rules, rather than one single program.

What This Graphic Shows

Ohio law provides several forms of property-tax relief or preferential treatment. These include homestead-related reductions for qualifying owners, statutory reductions affecting qualifying levies, local-option homestead relief, and current agricultural use valuation for qualifying agricultural land.

Each mechanism has different eligibility, funding, and levy rules. Property owners should verify current eligibility with their county auditor.
