Real Property Tax

Sharonville is of one of the few cities in the State of Ohio that does not levy property taxes. Real Property in the State of Ohio is tax at 35% of the appraised value of the property. By definition, real property is land, buildings and improvements to property. All real property in the State, used for residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial purposes is taxed. The county auditor in each respective county is responsible for appraising all parcels in the county every six years, with an update every three years.

Property taxes are made up of several components. School districts make up the greatest portion of millage collected by property taxes. Counties and various levies (zoo, library, mental health, MRDD, etc.) make up the next largest millage. Municipalities or townships, depending upon the location of the parcel, make up the next portion of the collected millage.

The total commercial millage for real property collected in the City of Sharonville, Princeton School District, is 55.840020 mills. In other words, if a commercial or industrial structure has an appraised value of $1 million, then the tax collected on that property is calculated as follows:

• Appraised value $1,000,000
• Assessment rate 35%
• Assessed value $350,000
• Tax millage 55.840020
• Annual Real Estate Tax $19,544
