Frequently asked questions
What is the average property tax rate in Ohio?

How much is property tax on a $300,000 home in Ohio?
At the 1.36% Ohio average the estimate is $4,080 a year, or $340 a month. At the US average rate the same home would be $2,700, which is $1,380 less than the Ohio estimate.
Which Ohio county has the highest property tax rate?
Among the large counties listed here, Cuyahoga County has the highest effective rate at 2.08% and Butler County the lowest at 1.24%. That is $8,338 against $4,955 a year on a $400,000 home.
How does Ohio compare with the other big states on this site?
Of the eight largest state pages, Ohio ranks 4th by effective rate. New Jersey is highest at 1.88% and California lowest at 0.7%; Ohio is at 1.36%.
How is property tax calculated in Ohio?
Ohio property taxes are set by locally voted levies, mainly for schools, so rates differ between counties and school districts. Reappraisals periodically reset taxable values.
Why can my real bill differ from this estimate?
Even within Ohio, listed county rates run from 1.24% in Butler County to 2.08% in Cuyahoga County, and city, school district, exemptions, assessment caps and reassessments change what you owe. The county numbers are medians, so a rate you work out from your own Ohio bill will be closer.
Which Ohio county is closest to the state average rate?
Stark County, at 1.32% against the 1.36% state average. That is 0.04 percentage points below the Ohio figure.
Can I enter my own property tax rate for Ohio?
Yes. Take the Ohio tax you paid, divide it by the home's market value and enter the percentage in the own-rate box; it overrides the county or state selection.

What the Ohio estimate does and does not cover
This page multiplies a home value by an effective rate, so the Ohio answer is an estimate from averages and 10 county medians, not a bill. Assessed value, exemptions, caps, local levies, assessment ratios and appeals decide a real bill and are not modelled; the $3,384 county gap on a $400,000 house shows how much local detail matters. If you know your Ohio effective rate, enter it to override the selection. Rates are the Tax Foundation 2026 tables built from 2024 American Community Survey data, so they are only as current as that label, and your county assessor or tax collector sets the actual bill.
