Nitrousbird Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 The property tax on my rental property went up $300/year. I received a letter earlier in the year stating that my real estate assesment was the same as it was 3 years ago, and stated my taxes would NOT go up unless a levy was passed. As far as I am aware, no levy was passed. I know the last Reynoldsburg school levy failed (as it should, those f'er's not only get tons of cash from property tax, they also get income tax as well!). Does anyone know why it went up, or where would be the smartest place to contact about this (I know e-mailed the county auditor would be a waste of time). Our taxes also went up on our home, but we are in Hillard schools, and their levy passed (which is fucking bullshit...if you have kids, YOU should be paying for their schooling, not me...I didn't tell you to go breed).

evan9381 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 didn't you just move in with your new wife in her home, and used to live in yours? im no real estate expert, but this may have something to do with it http://www.franklincountyohio.gov/auditor//forms/dte_105c.pdf 2.5% owner occupied reduction. if im reading correctly, if the property is no longer owner occupied (ie, a rental from how i see it), you cant claim that reduction...your taxes may not have went "up", but your reduction may have become null and went back to the original rate if not, i dont know. just taking a stab at it. you can locate your property at http://www.franklincountyauditor.com and click property search. it will show on there if you have the reduction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I am still getting the 2.5%, which is worth only $68.50 anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
