How Town Hall compares budgets →The typical homeowner pays $1,304 a year
Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 1.12% of the home’s value, vs 1.31% across Ohio.

Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
