Ohio Ballot Board Certifies Property Tax Abolition Measure

News summary

A proposed constitutional amendment to abolish property taxes in Ohio has advanced after the Ohio Attorney General approved the petition language and the Ohio Ballot Board certified it as a single issue. The amendment, initiated by Citizens for Property Tax Reform, would add Section 14 to Article XII of the Ohio Constitution, abolishing current and future taxes on real property. Supporters argue the measure is necessary due to high property taxes and lack of legislative action, while opponents warn of severe impacts on school funding and local government operations. Petitioners must collect over 413,000 signatures from at least 44 counties to qualify the measure for the ballot, potentially as soon as November or next May. The proposal has sparked debate over replacement funding sources, such as increased income or sales taxes. If passed, the amendment would take effect at the start of the following year.
