The Homeowners & Renters Bill
Ohio homeowners and renters could get tax money back
Enact the Property Tax Refund Act
Good for everyday people ·
This bill would give homeowners and renters money back if their housing costs are too high compared to what they earn.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
This bill would help people in Ohio keep more of their money. If you own a home or rent, and your property taxes or part of your rent cost more than five cents out of every dollar you make, the state would give you some money back. This could make it easier for families to pay for other important things like food or school supplies. It aims to help people who spend a big part of their income on housing. This is a chance for people to get some relief from high housing costs.
