Tax Rates
To see how your tax bill has changed from 2024 (for Tax Year 2023) to 2025 (for Tax Year 2024), please follow these steps:
- Click on “Tax Search” tab on our home page.
- On the Property Search page there are a number of search options to find your specific parcel.
- Once you have located your parcel via one of the search options, scroll down that page to the “Tax Bill” button and click it.
- You will be taken to a new page where there will be a number of options on the left side of the page. Scroll down to “Levy Distribution” and click on it.
- A new page will come up showing a bar graph. The resulting bar graph compares your tax bill for Tax Year 2024 (paid in 2025) to your tax bill for Tax Year 2023 (paid in 2024). This graphic shows the changes in your tax bill from year to year by taxing entity (County, School District, Park District, etc.).
- Below the bar graph is detail about how your tax bill changed by specific levy from the previous year. The 20 Mill Floor adjustment for school districts will be shown as increases to the “Current Expense” levies the district has in place.
Tax Calculation
The steps outlined below show how a real estate tax bill is calculated. Full tax rates and reduction factors can be found on the tax rate sheet above.
Note: 10% rollback does not apply to commercial property.
Determine the assessed value
Formula: (Appraised Value) x 35% = Assessed Value
Example: $100,000 x .35 = $35,000
Divide (Assessed Value) in half to Calculate Half-Year Tax Bill Amount.
Formula: (Appraised Value) / 2 = Assessed Value (For Half-Year Tax Bill Calculation)
Example: $35,000 / 2 = $17,500
Calculate the gross tax [See the tax rates page for full rates.]
Formula: (Assessed Value) x (Full Rate) = Gross Tax (for Half-Year) / 1,000
Example: $17,500 x 83.60 / 1,000 = $1,463.00
Calculate the reduction factor credit amount [See the tax rates page for reduction factors.]
Formula: (Gross Tax) x (Reduction Factor) = Reduction Factor Credit
Example: $1,463.00 x .452516 = $662.03
Reduce the gross tax by the reduction factor credit amount
Formula: (Gross Tax) - (Reduction Factor Credit) = Adjusted Tax
Example: $1,463.00 - $662.03 = $800.97
Calculate the rollback credit amount
This calculation varies by your tax district and your current use code and what levies are qualified and non-qualified as determined by the State of Ohio. You can call the County Auditor's office for the details. Their phone number is 419-734-6740.
For "Owner-Occupied" Residential Properties, there is an additional 2.5% Rollback.
This calculation varies by your tax district and your current use code and what levies are qualified and non-qualified as determined by the State of Ohio. You can call the County Auditor's office for the details. Their phone number is 419-734-6740.
Reduce Adjusted Tax by Total Rollback for Half-Year Tax Amount.
Formula: (10% Rollback) + (2.5% Rollback) = Total Rollback Reduction (Adjusted Tax Amount) - (Total Rollback Reduction) = Total Half-Year Tax Amount.
