❌ HB590
Modify law governing tax appeals and property tax complaints
Summary
The bill modifies the law governing tax appeals and property tax complaints in Ohio, including the filing process, eligibility for complaints, and the roles of various parties in the complaint process. It establishes deadlines for filing complaints and counter-complaints, outlines the conditions under which complaints can be filed, and specifies the responsibilities of county auditors and legislative authorities in these processes. The bill also includes provisions for notifying property owners and handling complaints related to property valuation and assessment.
Rationale
The bill introduces additional regulations and requirements for property tax complaints, which may conflict with Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and free markets. Both the LP and LPO emphasize the importance of individual rights and limited government, and the bill's provisions could be seen as increasing government control over property rights and taxation processes.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over property tax processes
- Potential for bureaucratic inefficiencies
- Restrictions on individual property rights
