Ohio Republicans propose constitutional amendment to cap property tax increases

Some Ohio lawmakers want a constitutional amendment to limit property tax increases.

A proposed constitutional amendment, sponsored by Rep. Beth Lear, R-Galena, and Rep. Scott Wiggam, R-Wooster, would limit property tax increases to 4% annually.

Wiggam said he wants to ensure property tax increases don't hit homeowners as hard after the historic increases in Ohio property values for 2023.
