State Overview
Ohio has a median effective property tax rate of 1.58%. For a home valued at $300,000, the estimated annual property tax is $4,728 — above the national median of 1.07%. Rates vary significantly by county and city; use the calculator below or browse by county to find your exact rate.
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.
