DeWine Signs Bill Revising Ballot Tax Levy Language

Gov. Mike DeWine on June 14 signed into law a bill to change how voters will see proposed property tax levies described at the ballot box. Under House Bill 140 — which will be in effect for 2023 elections — ballot language for proposed property tax increases must be expressed in terms of the impact on $100,000 of a property’s county-appraised value. Supporters of HB 140 say it’s a win for taxpayers and transparency. 6/14/2022
