Under law, the County Auditor cannot and does not raise or lower property taxes. Tax rates are determined by the budgetary request of each governmental unit, as authorized by vote of the people, and are computed in strict accordance with procedures required by the State Department of Tax Equalization.
Annually, the Auditor prepares the General Tax list and duplicate. Your tax bill is based on the tax rate multiplied by your valuation on this duplicate. This is your proportionate share of the cost of operating your local government including Schools, Townships, Villages, the County, etc.
Ohio law limits the amount of taxation without a vote of the people to what is known as the “10 mill limitation” ($10 per $1000 of assessed valuation). Any additional real estate taxes for any purpose must be voted by County residents. Your “Tax rate” is an accumulation of all these levies and bond issues.
