The Buckeye Institute Recommends Greater Property Tax Transparency
In a new policy memo, Property Tax Transparency: What Are We Paying For, The Buckeye Institute recommends that Ohio follow the example of Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano and adopt an easy-to-use online database that shows all tax levies that apply to individual parcels of property, such as Franklin County’s Levy Estimator. This tool “helps citizens better understand what their local governments cost, so they can make better, more informed decisions the next time a levy appears on the ballot.”
