Funding Ohio’s Communities

Property taxes are a key part of funding Ohio's public schools and community services we all rely on. This toolkit equips Ohio families with simple facts, talking points, and tools to speak up about the risks of abolishing them.

Toolkit Overview

Discover how property taxes fit into Ohio's school funding system, powering education for nearly 1.5 million students as the largest local source. Learn the real impacts of eliminating property taxes, debunk myths, and get ready-to-use advocacy steps for conversations with people in your community.​

Why It Matters

Public schools give every kid a place to belong, learn, and thrive, but they need stable, fair funding to deliver results. Property taxes aren't perfect, but scrapping them without a fair and workable replacement will not solve our problems but rather create new ones and raise everyday costs for working families across our state. Ohioans deserve honest talk and solutions that work for all.​​
