Property taxes are due the end of April (1st half). We all to the courthouse to pay, but where does the money go? A house in Avon with a $5,401.68 tax bill will be split four main places:
• City of Avon $2,755.47
• Avon School $1,826.99
• BH County $771.24
• Avon Fire Dist. $47.98
Taxes on 156 acres (no buildings) in Jefferson Township, Avon School District are $3,086.30.
• Avon School $1,756.35
• BH County $1,268.03
• Avon Fire Dist. $61.92
In 1989, the legislature put limits on how much a County, School and City could increase budget, 3% or rate of inflation, whatever is lower.
With the rate of inflation much higher than 3% elected officials have many challenges as they their budgets together.
