I've received a lot of questions lately about property taxes, so today, I wanted to let you in on some tips for getting a discount on them.
The owner-occupied tax reduction was created as a benefit for Ohio homeowners who use a house as their primary residence. To qualify for the 2.5% reduction, there are three requirements:

1. The homeowner must own and occupy the residence as their primary residence as of January 1st of that tax year. This will be the address used to determine where you're registered to vote and where to declare residency for income taxes.

Do you qualify for this 2.5% tax reduction?

2. You can't already claim it on another property.

3. If you don't qualify, you must complete a residential rental registration form or rental registration exemption form with the county you live in.
If you don't know if you receive or are eligible for this discount, I'm happy to help you verify and take action to make sure you get the benefits you need. Just give me a call or send me an email soon, I look forward to hearing from you!
