Ceiling Is Urged On Property Tax Ceiling Increases
The Ohio Farm Bureau Federation backs a legislative cap on automatic property tax increases without voter approval. Charles Lopeman of the Board of Tax Appeals proposed legislative action, a constitutional amendment, or an administrative ruling to halt hikes since 1972 at Gov. Rhodes's request. Swank urged law changes for quicker relief and fairness, with a plan to lower true value assessment, improve yearly value methods, and ensure fair millage rollback.
