General Information
(County acting as collection agent of local tax revenues)
Real Property tax is one of the oldest taxes in the State of Ohio and is also one of the most stable tax bases, the taxable value of land and buildings. Tax rates vary between tax districts depending on all levies approved either by legislative authority or the voters. Ohio law limits local government authority to assess property taxes by creating the 10-mill limitation.
Similar to the above Real Estate property taxes, Manufactured Home Taxes were instituted in 1925 with the development of Manufactured Homes. The tax base is 40% of the depreciated value of the home and the rate is the total of all taxes levied in the district. New law passed by the Ohio General Assembly in December of 1998 significantly changes Manufactured Home taxation by assessing the value of the home similar to Real Estate, at market values.
A 5% penalty is charged if tax is paid WITHIN ten days of the due date.
A 10% penalty is charged if tax is paid MORE than ten days after the due date.
In addition to foreclosure action, real estate properties with delinquent taxes may be subject to a TAX LIEN SALE.
