How high is the school property tax?

The Ohio Department of Taxation's aggregate property tax rates by school district for tax year 2025: the effective Class I (residential and agricultural) millage each district collects after the reduction factors that hold voted levies to the dollars first approved, weighted across the districts a ZIP's residents live in. School levies are usually the largest share of an Ohio property tax bill but not all of it; county, city or township, library, park and vocational-school millage are collected in the same bill and are not in this table, and the 10 percent and owner-occupancy credits, homestead exemption and any new levies since 2025 change what a household pays. The card now also lists the municipal income tax, school district income tax and combined sales tax rate for the ZIP from the Department of Taxation's Finder tables.
