Property Tax Proration First, determine the daily tax rate by dividing the annual tax by 365 days (assuming a calendar year method). So, $3,600 / 365 = $9.86 per day. Next, multiply this daily rate by the number of days the buyer will own the property: $9.86 x 166 days = $1,636.99.
Calculate the Proration Amount To calculate the proration amount, divide the total expense by the number of days in the period. For example, if annual property taxes are $6,000, and the proration period covers a full year (365 days), the daily proration amount would be $16.44.
The average effective property tax rate in Ohio is 1.43%. However, tax rates vary significantly between Ohio counties and cities. The highest rates are in Cuyahoga County, where the average effective rate is 2.18%. The county with the lowest rate is Noble County, which has an average effective rate of 0.83%.
Short Proration is calculated by multiplying the daily tax rate from the beginning of the current cycle to the present date. So, a closing on August 15th would be prorated from July 1 to August 15.
The seller gives the buyer a credit for the tax proration, which represents the taxes that would be due on the day of closing if the county sent a bill for taxes that day.
There are two cycles per year: January 1 to June 30 and July 1 to December 31. Short Proration is calculated by multiplying the daily tax rate from the beginning of the current cycle to the present date.
However, only one locality has an 8% tax rate: Cuyahoga County. The next highest county tax rate in Ohio belongs to Hamilton County at 7.8%. After that, Coshocton County and Lucas county are tied at 7.75%.
