THINKING YOUR REAL ESTATE TAXES ARE SKY HIGH? How many politicians have forced their hands into your cookie jar squeezing their sweaty fingers trying to grasp the change in a frenzy. From the Auditor's website, the following information describes all the jousting for your money.
"The Fiscal Officer cannot and does not raise or lower taxes. There are 74 taxing authorities in Summit County. They include the County of Summit, 5 county agencies, 26 school districts, 3 library districts, 12 cities, 10 villages, 9 townships, 1 water district, 1 fire district and 1 cemetery district. Each of these taxing authorities are responsible for putting their own levies on the ballot for the voters to approve. Real property taxes levied in Ohio are taxes imposed on the value of the property."

After reviewing the programs available though the county, I have to say, I am less then impressed. It seems all that cash and ludicrous spending budgets and self-motivated politicians have led to bloated programs and owners who are strapped in trying to afford their Real Estate Taxes. Based on the taxes we pay on Real Estate here in Ohio, I would like to see what kind of relation they are percentage wise to the rest of the nation versus home values.
