Portage County Real Estate Taxes

According to Portage County Auditor Janet Esposito, two factors determine the amount of real estate taxes paid on a piece of property in Ohio - its market value and the effective millage of the subdivisions (cities, villages, townships, county and schools) in which the property is located. 

The state tax commissioner and county auditor's offices determine the property's market value, with property taxes assessed at 35 percent of that market value.  The effective millage rate varies from one community to another within the county.

A mill equals $1 for each $1,000 of taxable value of a property.  Thus, if a home has an auditor-assessed market value of $100,000, it would have a tax value of $35,000.  The tax office would then apply its effective millage rate, say 70 mills, against the tax value, making the property taxes $2,450 per year ($35,000/1000 x 70).

Beyond this simple formula, state laws allow for several reductions, some based on homeowner's age and/or disabilities, income, and land use.
