❌ HB608
Modify the law governing property taxes and other local taxes
Summary
HB608 modifies the law governing property taxes and local taxes in Ohio, including provisions for tax payment deadlines, extensions for tax payments on real property and manufactured homes, and the handling of delinquent taxes. It establishes criteria for tax exemptions for pre-residential development properties and outlines the responsibilities of county auditors and treasurers in managing tax assessments and collections.
Rationale
The bill increases government control over property taxation and does not align with the Libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and property rights. It establishes additional regulations and processes for tax collection and management, which contradicts the Libertarian Party's advocacy for reduced taxation and government oversight.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government control over property taxation
- Potential for bureaucratic inefficiencies
- Higher compliance costs for property owners
