What a home in Sherwood pays
$1,110 a year for every $100,000 of a home’s value, tax year 2025
A home the county values at $200,000 pays about $2,220 a year; at $300,000, about $3,330. That is the whole property tax bill on a home its owner lives in, after House Bill 920’s reduction and the state’s rollback credits, before the homestead exemption.
Across Defiance County, the same home pays $1,211 on average, so a home in Sherwood pays 8% less. The average weights each taxing district by its homes’ value.

Shares of the 34.90 mills a home here is charged, in the taxing district holding most of Sherwood’s homes; a street on another bill can pay a little more or less. A home’s value is the county’s value for it, not a sale price. Check your own bill.
Homeowners 65 and over in Sherwood
Too few homes in Sherwood for the Census survey to measure how many of their owners are 65 or older.
Defiance County: 34% · Ohio: 33%
Owners who are 65 or older, or disabled, can claim Ohio’s homestead exemption, which takes part of a home’s value off the bill; most must have an income under the state’s limit. From the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, 2020–2024 five-year estimates (table B25007, owner-occupied homes by the age of the householder). A survey, so every figure has a margin of error.
