How did we get here?
The Ohio legislature sets up the system of taxation for the state, and the Ohio Tax Commissioner is responsible for setting the tax rates in adherence to the law.
The County Auditor assesses real estate values and calculates the associated property taxes. The Auditor’s Office is required to set a fair market value for each property every three years.
The County Treasurer is responsible for the billing and collection of real estate taxes based on the values set.
