Ohio 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.
- The Ohio House is scheduled to convene on July 21 to vote on overriding most of Governor DeWine's vetoes concerning property tax reform and related legislation.
- This vote follows DeWine's recent vetoes which halted reforms aimed at limiting school district carryover and controlling tax increases amid ongoing pressure for relief.
- DeWine revealed on Thursday the formation of a task force aimed at creating fair strategies to provide property tax relief while maintaining funding for vital local services.
- Property taxes rose nearly 19%, about $3.8 billion from 2020 to 2024, largely driven by soaring property values that have burdened homeowners and local governments.
- The override vote faces challenges as Republicans lack a veto-proof majority and some reforms may proceed through the working group’s September 30 proposals.
