on the data that was received, the taxes on the property
owned by manufactured home taxpayers were reduced by
$1,449,478. The average tax reduction amounted to $116, and
the average reduction in value amounted to $1,555.

this tax reduction, 697, and the largest total reduction in
taxes, $115,228. Auglaize County had the least number of
persons receiving this tax reduction, 12, and the least total

compiled through a survey of county auditors conducted by the
Ohio Department of Taxation. The data in the third column
showing the reduction in real property taxes are the actual
amounts reimbursed to each county for the manufactured home
homestead exemption, including reimbursements for refunds
issued by the county to taxpayers that filed "late"
applications for the tax year 1999 homestead exemption.
