Ohio Property Tax Calculator – Ohio property taxes fund schools, roads, and local services. The median annual payment is $2,943, with an effective rate of 1.48%, above the national average. Taxes are based on taxable value (35% of appraised market value), multiplied by local mill rates, varying by county/district.

How Property Taxes Are Calculated

Ohio property taxes are calculated as:

[ \text{Taxable Value} = \text{Appraised Value} \times 0.35 ] [ \text{Taxes} = \text{Taxable Value} \times \left( \text{Mill Rate} \div 1,000 \right) ]

  • Appraised Value: Market value, set by county auditors every three/six years.

  • Taxable Value: 35% of appraised value.

  • Mill Rate: Set by local authorities, in mills ($1 per $1,000).

  • Exemptions: Homestead, owner-occupancy, veterans.

Example:
$200,000 home in Franklin County (92.30 mills):

  • Taxable Value = $200,000 × 0.35 = $70,000

  • Taxes = $70,000 × (92.30 ÷ 1,000) = $6,461

Taxes are due in two installments, typically January and July.
