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.
