The TRUTH about Wood County Property Taxes:
- The State of Ohio has ordered a state-wide re-evaluation of Farmland, Commercial and Residential property in all 88 Ohio counties.
- As a result of this re-evaluation land values have risen, which will cause property taxes to rise in varying degrees across Wood County.
- The rise in property taxes is due to decisions made in Columbus, by the Ohio Department of Taxation, based on statistics that are provided by each individual county. The counties themselves are not involved in the decision-making process.
- Wood County is one of the first counties to be evaluated under this system but, eventually, all 88 counties will see similar changes in their taxes.
