Sample Property Tax Report for a Ohio property


Property Tax

Under Ohio law, every parcel of real estate in the county is physically inspected once in every six-year period. The data collected is public information and is open for review. The figures presented here are as accurate as we can make them, but other factors may exist that affect how much property tax must be paid.

Market Value

Ohio law requires that a property's value be established for tax purposes using a uniform approach that produces a fair estimate of what it would sell for on the open market. Many factors contribute to this estimation, for example recent sales of similar properties in the near vicinity, interest rates, cost of land acquisition, and material and construction costs.

Building market value $86,600
Land market value + $27,800
Total market value = $114,400

Assessed Value

Assessed values in Stark County are calculated by multiplying market values by the county's assessment ratio. This ratio is currently 35%.

Building assessed value (building market value x 35%) $30,310
Land assessed value (land market value x 35%) + $9,730
Total assessed value (total market value x 35%) = $40,040

Taxable Value

Taxable value is assessed value less any tax reductions such as exemptions that apply.

Taxable building value $30,310
Taxable land value + $9,730
Taxable value = $40,040

Property Tax

Property tax is made up of two parts: ad valorem tax and special assessments. Ad valorem tax is calculated by multiplying the taxable value by the total tax rate; special assessments are then added to this total. We have no data regarding special assessments for this property and so our totals do not include them. The total tax rate is the sum of the rates set by the county, school districts and municipalities. Rates are expressed as millages, i.e. the actual rates multiplied by 1000. Current tax is based on assessed value and is an estimate of what the present owner pays; base tax is based on taxable value and is what a owner not benefiting from tax reductions might pay

Base Tax Current Tax
Taxable value $40,040 $40,040
Total tax rate x 72.20‰ 72.20‰
Gross property tax = $2,890 $2,890

Several tax reductions are available in Stark County, firstly the reduction factor (dependant on the property's usage, e.g. residential or commercial) and the 10% rollback for non-commercial taxpayers. There is also a 2½% discount for owner-occupied residences and tax reductions are available for example for qualifying elderly and physically disabled people - we assume that NONE of these are currently applicable to this property.

Gross property tax $2,890 $2,890
Reduction factor (Residential: 26.9539%) - $779 $779
After reduction factor = $2,111 $2,111
10% rollback - $211 $211
Net property tax (estimated) = $1,900 $1,900
