Upward Tax Revision Sought for Ohio Property
The Ohio State Tax Commission, seeking more revenue, eyed Middletown and Hamilton for higher property tax appraisals with estimated increases of about 15.58 percent in Middletown and 10.13 percent in Hamilton. The move, part of statewide equalization, aims to align the tax duplicate valuations with actual sale prices, targeting at least 50 percent of sale value in most districts.
