The bill that chases
the boom.
Home values jumped first; tax bills follow through reassessment, years behind. The freshest national data shows how differently the two move — the local detail below runs on the Census's schedule, and says so.

Reappraisal notices are landing across Ohio. Compare yours with your zip and your neighbours, see what it means for your bill at the state's certified district rates, and where every dollar of it goes — anonymous, a few seconds. New to this? How Ohio property tax works explains why your bill will not rise the way your valuation did.
Tax collections against home values, both = 100 at the start
Watch the crash. Home values fell 24% from their 2007 peak to the 2012 bottom; collections rose 20% straight through it and have never had a down year. Bills grind upward on their own schedule whichever way the market moves — which is why a reappraisal does not raise your bill by the same percentage. Both lines start at 100 in Jan 2000, simply because that is where Zillow’s national index begins. Collections are a full year at a time (the twelve months ending that quarter, Census via FRED, current to within a quarter or two).

Effective rates by state
Ohio's property tax rate is the 7th highest of 51 on the 2026 assessment rolls: 1.29% of a home's value a year, and the 11th highest of 51 on the Census. Its row is marked in the table.
Ranked on the 2026 assessment rolls: each state's median bill against the market values on its current rolls (AssessorSearch Data Lab, Jun 2026 release, quality-gated against the Census) — the freshest figures there are. Beside them, the Census's five-year figures for 2020–2024: median bill against median home value, owner-occupied homes, thorough and about two years behind. Read the two side by side, not as a change over time. Private data firms that divide current bills by today’s market values, such as ATTOM, can rank states differently from the Census, because values move faster than assessments. The reassessment catch-up shows up honestly on each county's page, in the wedge chart. Select a state's counties for that, and for the "where your bill is headed" estimate.
