Computing Your Tax Bill
How to Compute Your Tax Bill
This example assumes your home has a fair market value of $100,000.
Property Tax Computation
Market Value x 35% = assessed value
Assessed value x full rate = gross tax
Gross tax x reduction factor = tax credit
Gross tax – tax credit = tax before credits
Tax before credits x 10% = 10% tax credit
Tax before credits x .025 = 2 1/2% credit
Tax before credits – (10% + 21/2%) = Net Tax
$39.25 = $1,373.69 – Net tax charged divided by 2 = Half Tax
Example
$100,000 x .35 = $35,000
$35,000 x .06942 = $2,429.70
$2,429.70 x .3538600 = $859.77
$2,429.70 – $859.77 = $1,569.93
$1,569.93 x .10 = $156.99
$1,569.93 x .025 = $39.25
$1,569.93 – $156.99
$1,373.69/2 = $686.85
Estate Tax
The County Auditor serves as the agent for the Tax Commissioner of Ohio in the administration of the Ohio estate tax. The following summarizes statutory and administrative rule changes impacting the regulation of estate tax in Ohio:
- Beginning January 1, 2001, regardless of the decedent’s date of death, the tax commissioner has authorized an automatic, six-month extension of time to file the Ohio Estate Tax Return. However, any payments made after nine months from the date of death should be charged statutory interest.
- The tax commissioner no longer requires an audit of a safe deposit box upon the death of the owner.
- Beginning January 1, 2001, the county auditor is no longer required to issue a consent to transfer for accounts $25,000 or less.

To qualify, you must own and occupy your home as of January 1 of the year you apply for the reduction. A homeowner and spouse may only apply for one property in Ohio.
The reduction only applies to one acre of land and the home. Any additional acres on the property will not recieve an Owner Occupancy reduction.
