It’s Time for Real Property Tax Reform in Ohio – And We Need YOUR Voice!
For far too long, Ohio homeowners have been overburdened with skyrocketing property taxes, while receiving little to no accountability from those managing our public funds. Despite growing public outcry, and over 40 proposed pieces of legislation (House and Senate bills) introduced in the last four years, our state leaders have failed to deliver meaningful tax relief or reform.
And now, just as we were finally gaining traction, Governor Mike DeWine vetoed key line items in the State Budget that would’ve laid the groundwork for much-needed change.
The Problem: Runaway Property Taxes, No Accountability
Ohio’s property tax system is outdated, unbalanced, and frankly – unsustainable. Taxpayers are expected to foot the bill while:
-
School districts sit on billions in unspent reserves.
-
New levies continue to appear on ballots with no cost-cutting required.
-
No accountability exists for how municipalities or state agencies allocate the dollars we already pay.
Many counties have seen double-digit percentage increases in property tax bills, leaving seniors, working families, and young homeowners struggling to stay in their homes.
Meanwhile, large developers enjoy tax abatements. Commercial entities leverage legal loopholes. And regular homeowners? We’re left holding the bag.
Legislative Inaction: 40+ Bills, ZERO Progress
Since 2020, dozens of bills aimed at reforming Ohio’s property tax system have been introduced. These proposals sought to:
-
Cap annual increases.
-
Tie taxation to real household income, not inflated property values.
-
Provide tax relief to fixed-income households and first-time buyers.
-
Require balanced budgets and cost-cutting mandates before new levies are allowed.
Not one of these bills has made it into law. Why? Because it’s politically easier to keep the broken system in place than to fight for reform.

The Bottom Line
We aren’t asking for special treatment – we’re demanding fair treatment. A system that respects our investments, protects our homes, and requires the same financial responsibility from our government that is expected of us.
️ Property tax reform isn’t a political issue — it’s a people issue.
It’s time for real solutions, not more delays.
