Time to Act: Ohio Property Tax Ballot Gains Momentum – What You Need to Know Now
In our last post, we shared news of a bold proposal to eliminate all property taxes in Ohio—a move that could completely reshape how we fund essential local services like schools, fire departments, and community infrastructure.
Now, things are moving fast.
The Ohio Ballot Board has given the green light, officially certifying the amendment as a single-issue measure. This means that Citizens for Property Tax Reform only need to circulate one petition to get it on the ballot. The clock is ticking, and petitions are already in circulation across the state.
Let’s be clear: this is no longer just a concept—it’s a potential reality. And while the idea of no property taxes might sound appealing, the deeper implications are serious. If this amendment passes, Ohio communities will face:
-
Severe cuts to public school funding
-
Major tax increases elsewhere to fill the gap
-
Uncertainty for municipalities already stretched thin
Even House Speaker Matt Huffman is calling this a “wake-up call” for lawmakers, pushing for meaningful property tax reform before the amendment reaches voters.
Now’s the time to speak up.
Your voice—and your signature—matters more than ever. This isn’t just about taxes. It’s about what kind of Ohio we want to live in.
✅ Here’s how you can take action:
-
Find and sign the petition if you support eliminating property taxes
-
Contact your state lawmakers and urge them to present viable reform alternatives
-
Talk to your neighbors, school boards, and community leaders—this affects everyone
-
Stay informed as the proposal gains traction across Ohio
This issue is gaining momentum quickly. Whether you’re for or against the measure, doing nothing is not an option.
