"Multiple Ohio Department of Taxation analyses and state summaries find that roughly two-thirds (60% to 68%) of property-tax dollars are directed to local K12 education. The rest is distributed among counties, municipalities, townships, libraries, park districts, fire/EMS, water/sewer districts and other local governments. Fleeter said the revenue raised by property taxes funds the bedrock of Ohio's local services. We also have countywide human services that are funded through property taxes, he said."
"Residential (homeowner and farm) dollars rose from representing a mid-50% range of the total property tax pool in 1999 to the high-60% to low-70% range by the 2010s and into the 2020s, state data shows. The Ohio Education Policy Institute and other analysts report similar changes when examining the school portion of property taxes specifically. For school property taxes in 1975, 46% were paid by homeowners and farmers, and 54% were paid by businesses, Fleeter said."
Roughly 60% to 68% of property-tax dollars fund local K12 education. The remaining property-tax revenue supports counties, municipalities, townships, libraries, park districts, fire/EMS, water/sewer districts, and other local governments. Property-tax revenue also finances countywide human services, including alcohol and drug addiction treatment, mental health services, developmental disabilities supports, children's services, elderly services, and public health department functions. Over the past 30 years, the residential share of property-tax payments rose from the mid-50% range in 1999 to the high-60% to low-70% range by the 2010s into the 2020s. The school tax burden shifted from businesses toward homeowners and farmers, accelerating since the mid-1990s due to utility deregulation, business-friendly tax changes, and atypical property-value increases.
