Tangible Personal Property Tax, Phase Out and Replacement Payment Information
One of Ohio's most significant tax reforms in decades began in 2005, when the Ohio General Assembly launched a five-year phase-out of the tangible personal property tax with House Bill 66. This phase out, which was complete after 2008 for nearly all general taxpayers, includes a system of direct payments from the state to schools and local governments in order to help offset the loss of property tax revenue. The payment program was substantially modified in 2011 by House Bill 153. Questions or concerns about the information presented here may be directed to our Tax Analysis Division at: tpp@tax.state.oh.us.
ADVISORY
The spreadsheets published here for the changes in tangible personal property (TPP) and public utility (SB3) reimbursements may be regularly updated. The process for creating the spreadsheets involved the merging of substantial amounts of data, oftentimes manually. We verified the data in the spreadsheets as thoroughly as we could, but there will be instances when individual jurisdictions may find errors or differences of opinion about how a data element is classified. This review by individual jurisdictions is part of the verification process and we encourage them to review the calculations that pertain to them and report to the department any potential errors/concerns. Under temporary law, jurisdictions may ask for changes to calculations through June 30, 2013. At that time, all calculations will be final. As we update calculations based on these reports, we will update the published spreadsheets. We will be posting a publication date with each update so that users can track to make sure they have the most current data. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this process.
