Bill Aims to Restrict School District Challenges to Property Values

Now awaiting the governor’s veto or signature is a measure (House Bill 126) that would significantly limit the ability of Ohio’s school districts and other local government entities to challenge property values. On April 6, a conference committee report was adopted by both the Ohio House and Senate.

According to this report by Gongwer News Service, HB 126 aims to address arguments “that school districts were unduly hiring attorneys to challenge auditor valuations as a way to bolster their revenues.” 4/6/2022
