Ohio’s $10 Billion Property Tax Showdown: What HJR 7 Really Does
http://www.ohiopoliticalnews.com
Ohio homeowners are demanding real property-tax relief—and Rep. Mark Hiner’s HJR 7 could dramatically change the system.

The proposal would amend the Ohio Constitution to eliminate property taxes on an owner-occupied primary residence, including up to one acre surrounding the home. Supporters say it could provide billions of dollars in relief and help protect seniors and working families from being taxed out of their homes.

But major questions remain:

Where would schools and local governments replace the lost revenue?
Would the tax burden shift to businesses, landlords or renters?
Does the actual constitutional language go further than simply exempting primary homes?

In this Ohio Political News Update, we break down what HJR 7 proposes, who would benefit, what property would remain taxable and what Ohioans need to know before supporting such a major constitutional change.

Should Ohio eliminate property taxes on primary residences—or abolish property taxes entirely?
