Governor DeWine Announces Co-Chairmen of Property Tax Reform Working Group

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)—Ohio Governor Mike DeWine today formally announced the formation of his Property Tax Reform Working Group. The working group, informally announced during the Governor’s signing of House Bill 96 and associated line-item vetoes, will be co-chaired by former legislators Bill Seitz and Pat Tiberi, also a former congressman and President and CEO of the Ohio Business Roundtable.

“As property values have increased in Ohio over the last decade, the resulting property tax increases have strained many family budgets and challenged the financial security of many on fixed incomes,” said Governor DeWine. “Building upon previously expressed concerns and work done at many levels of government, I am forming this Property Tax Reform Working Group to issue concrete recommendations for meaningful property tax reforms that address the needs of property owners, are affordable to our state budget, and protect local schools and other services.”

The Governor is tasking the Working Group to thoroughly examine issues related to how to provide meaningful property tax relief to homeowners and businesses while ensuring that funding for local schools, fire, police, EMS, libraries, and developmental disabilities is adequate. The Governor is asking the working group to issue a report with concrete proposals by September 30th.

In addition to Seitz and Tiberi, other members of the Governor’s Property Tax Reform Working Group will be named in the near future and announced via press release.
