US EditionOhio House to Consider Overriding DeWine's Vetoes on Property Tax Reforms
OHIO, JUL 21 – The Ohio House aims to override vetoes that limit school district carryover funds and levy rules, potentially saving taxpayers $2.5 billion, despite concerns over school funding impacts.
- Ohio Governor Mike DeWine vetoed multiple property tax reform bills, prompting the Ohio House to consider override votes on July 21.
- The vetoes followed ongoing frustration over a nearly 19% property tax increase from 2020 to 2024 and escalating local millage rates raising over $1 billion annually.
- DeWine established a task force charged with developing balanced proposals by September 30 to provide property tax relief while maintaining funding for schools, emergency services, libraries, and programs for individuals with developmental disabilities.
- Attorney General Dave Yost cautioned that officials must take decisive action on property tax reform soon, warning that public frustration could lead to a grassroots movement dismantling the current system.
- The House faces a difficult override path due to a narrow GOP majority, and while some relief measures may pass, comprehensive reform remains uncertain amid competing priorities.
