The state’s share is never on a property tax bill. The Schools section has it district by district. Where the money comes from is the state’s split, by the accounting code each district files it under. A district’s bookkeeping can put local money, such as payments from development (TIF) districts, in another column.

Homeowners 65 and over in Cuyahoga County

36% of the homes their owners live in, in Cuyahoga County, belong to someone 65 or older — about 120,000 homes.

Ohio: 33%

A survey, so every figure has a margin of error.
