COLUMBUS—State Senator Tom Patton (R-Strongsville) introduced legislation that creates a property tax freeze for senior citizens, 65 years and older with an annual adjusted gross income of less than $70,000. "We must provide property tax relief for our constituents who need it most," said Patton.
The exemption, which takes the form of a credit on property tax bills, allows qualifying homeowners to exempt $28,000 of the market value of their homes from all local property taxes. For example, through the homestead exemption, a home with a market value of $100,000 is billed as if it is worth $72,000.

Ohio's Homestead Exemption protects the first $25,000 of your home's value from taxation. For example, if your home is worth $100,000, you will be taxed as if the home were worth $75,000. On average, those who qualify for the exemption save $400 a year.
