H. C. R. No. 64 As IntroducedAs Introduced 130th General Assembly | Regular Session | 2013-2014 |

Representatives Boose, Patterson
Cosponsor:
Representative Brenner
A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION | To support the efforts of the Ohio Department of
Taxation to continue to seek viable solutions to
dramatic increases in the taxable value of
agricultural property valued according to its
current agricultural use.
|
BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE STATE OF OHIO (THE SENATE CONCURRING):
WHEREAS, Ohio law requires that real property be valued at
its fair market value for real property tax purposes but
authorizes agricultural land to be valued according to its current
agricultural use; and |
WHEREAS, Ohio law requires the Tax Commissioner to prescribe
the method by which current agricultural use value is calculated;
and |
WHEREAS, Current agricultural use values increased
dramatically in 2014 in those counties that have been revalued;
and |
WHEREAS, These dramatic increases make it difficult for
Ohio's farmers to plan and require those farmers to pay higher
taxes when they have less income as a result of lower crop prices;
and |
WHEREAS, The formula currently employed to value current
agricultural use is largely the same formula that has existed for
almost forty years; now therefore be it |
RESOLVED, That we, the members of the 130th General Assembly
of the State of Ohio, support the efforts of the Ohio Department
of Taxation to seek viable solutions to dramatic increases in the
taxable value of agricultural property valued according to its
current agricultural use; and be it further |
RESOLVED, That the Clerk of the House of Representatives
transmit duly authenticated copies of this resolution to the
Governor of Ohio and to the news media of Ohio. |
