Ohio group pushes to abolish property taxes with proposed constitutional amendment: Legally Speaking

  • On May 1, 2025, the Ohio Attorney General confirmed that the title and summary submitted for a constitutional amendment aimed at eliminating property taxes statewide accurately represent the proposal.
  • The petition must next be reviewed by the Ohio Ballot Board to decide if it contains one or multiple amendments before petitioners collect signatures.
  • If certified, petitioners need signatures from registered voters equaling 10% of the last gubernatorial votes, with at least 5% from half of Ohio's 88 counties, verified 65 days before a regular election.
  • The amendment proposes adding Section 14 to Article XII of the Ohio Constitution, which prohibits the taxation of real property, defined to include land, buildings, and permanent improvements, and bars any legislation from imposing such taxes in the future.
  • If placed on the ballot and passed, the amendment would end Ohio's main property tax revenue, which currently funds local services including schools, libraries, and emergency services.
