Re: OEPI Issues Property Tax Policy Analysis

The Ohio Educational Policy Institute released a property tax policy analysis, Analysis of Residential Property Taxes in Ohio: A Balanced Approach to Reform, that illustrates how Ohio’s reliance on local control, along with economic factors and state tax policy changes, has led to a significant shift in the state-local funding partnership toward residential taxpayers.

Key takeaways

• Rising home values, slow economic growth and 20 years of state tax policy changes have intensified local school funding challenges.
• Homeowners and farmers now carry 67.5% of school property taxes, up from 46.1% in 1975. Meanwhile, the business share has nearly been cut in half.
• Cuts and eliminations of state taxes have reduced state support, forcing schools and local governments to raise property taxes, leaving Ohio with the eighth-highest property tax rate nationally. In contrast, the state’s overall tax burden ranks 46th.

Why it matters

This imbalance creates growing pressure on communities and limits how schools can fund essential services for students.

Policy options for discussion

• Targeted relief for seniors, people with disabilities and low-income families.
• Revenue growth limits to prevent unsustainable increases.
• Local flexibility and transparency in tax abatements and exemptions.
