Property taxes

The Census’s survey of what owners say they pay. Levy by levy, and a check of one home’s own bill, the site covers Ohio’s.

Median bill $1,386/yr ACS 2020–2024 · on a $161,400 median home
Effective rate 0.86% median bill ÷ median value, same survey
On the 2026 roll $1,454/yr median bill on current assessment rolls, effective 0.79% — AssessorSearch Data Lab, shown because it agrees with the official levels above
Payment ÷ income 22% of the median household income ($60,412, ACS 2020–2024) — 30% is the standard affordability line
HUD Fair Market Rent $973/mo two-bedroom, FY2026 — the official benchmark housing assistance is priced against
Where the bill is headed $1,723/yr an estimate: that same rate on today's $200,692 typical value — reassessment hasn't finished catching up

The reassessment wedge (index, Dec 2017 = 100)

Home values move monthly; tax bills move when the assessor catches up. The space between the lines is the catch-up still to come — tax data is ACS, roughly two years behind, and that lag is the point. Where a roll segment appears, named by its release year, it bridges to the median bill on current assessment rolls (AssessorSearch Data Lab, a different instrument, shown only where it agrees with ACS levels).
