Ohioans confront soaring property taxes, prompting legislative action amidst rising frustrations. Mahoning County reports an 18% tax delinquency rate, with $70 million unpaid, and Cuyahoga County's values soared 32%. Homeowners may confront a potential 25% tax increase in the years ahead if reforms are not implemented. Despite being the eighth highest in property tax burden nationally, Ohio ranks 40th in median household income. The situation intensifies as grassroots movements call for the abolition of property taxes due to the unsustainable financial pressure on homeowners.
In Mahoning County, the tax delinquency rate has hit 18%, with more than $70 million in unpaid property taxes. Some neighborhoods in Youngstown are even seeing rates as high as 1 in 3 homeowners behind.
Ohio now ranks eighth in the nation for property tax burden-ahead of even New York and California-yet it sits 40th in median household income.
