I live in TX and considering moving to Mason, OH pursuing a dream job offer.

So far, everything I read about Mason is great, esp schools.

However, I looked up the property rates for Mason, OH here and if I am reading this right the rate is $65.34 for every $1000 of house value.

In essence, I will be paying $16,335 for a $250,000 house??
[Currently in TX I pay ~$4000.]


Really?? Help!!

No, the valuation percentage is 35% of true value so you take the 250k multiple by 35% and then apply the tax rate.

So what is the actual tax value for a $250,000 house?

$250,000 x .35 = 87,500. Tax = $5717.25.

Math is hard.

Cincinnati is no longer the housing bargain it was in the 1980s. Nearly $6000 for a 250K house? Whew !

Correct, its all about the taxes. Where does the money go? Failing schools, Medicaid?

In Mason, it appears to be succeeding schools. (OP's Statement - "So far, everything I read about Mason is great, esp schools.")

No. Politics and resulting regulations is hard

Thanks for the answer. I could do reverse engineering and figure out the percentage tax as 6.5%.
Which in other words is 65.34 per $1000.

So if you lived there for 10 years, you would pay over 50 grand in property taxes. WOW

a good rule of thumb is to take the last two numbers off of the property value and that is your semi-annual tax bill. for example, a 180,000 house has a semi-annual bill of about 1,800. in ohio, property taxes fund a ton of stuff, so yeah, they're high
