Ohio uses a 35% assessment ratio, which means its high mill rates (often 50 to 70 mills) apply to a reduced base. The effective rate lands around 1.6% of market value, above average but not as extreme as the raw mill rate suggests. Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) has some of the highest effective rates; rural southeastern Ohio is much lower.
