Real Estate & Mobile Home Tax

Ohio Real Estate Taxes, commonly referred to as "property taxes", and Mobile Home taxes are collected by the county treasurer twice a year, based on the assessment of value made by the county auditor. Property and mobile home tax collections take place in March (called the "first half" collection) and August (called the "second half" collection). The exact dates change from year to year and the due date is noted on your tax bill.

In accordance with state law property taxes are billed at the end of the year in which they are assessed. Thus the taxes billed in January 2023 (and due in March 2023) are the taxes assessed for 2022. Although you will normally be billed for property taxes twice a year, you may also choose to pay once per year.
