The Ridgewood School Board has voted to change their inside millage to permanent improvement.
If you have any questions regarding the millage change, please contact the Ridgewood School District.
Below are frequently asked questions regarding school levies.
How are school districts financed?
- At the local level, school districts receive funding from locally levied property taxes.
What is a property tax levy?
- A property tax levy is the collection of taxes charged on the value of property. Each district must follow a process described in Ohio law in order for taxes to be levied on property within the district. Boards of education propose additional local tax revenues by board resolution.
What is a mill?
- The unit of value for expressing the rate of property taxes in Ohio is the “mill.” A mill is defined as one-tenth of a percent or one-tenth of a cent (0.1 cents) in cash terms. Millage is the factor applied to the assessed value of property to produce tax revenue.
- Inside or unvoted mills — Millage imposed by local governments without voter approval as defined in the Ohio Constitution. The constitutional limit for these taxes is 1% or 10 mills. Public schools, cities, counties and other local governments within a taxing district are allocated a portion of the inside mills collected within the district according to a statutory formula.
- Outside or voted mills — Millage approved by voters. Outside mills are subject to the property tax reduction factor.
- Effective mills — In the case of real property, a difference can exist between a tax levy’s rate as authorized by the voters and the actual amount of mills charged against a district’s assessed valuation. The effective millage rate reflects the fact that the original number of voted mills has received an adjustment to compensate for the impact of inflation on real property values.
Real Estate Property Values are Increasing in Coshocton County for Tax Year 2024
Every three years, State Law requires the County Auditor to research all parcels that sold in the last three years and determine how the selling prices compare to the values that the County Auditor has on record. Those sales are used as a yardstick to determine how the property values are trending in each neighborhood. The Ohio Department of Taxation requires the County to use this sales data to update the property values to be 90-110% of the current market value.
The 2024 Triennial property value update has been completed following three years of strong property sales. The State Department of Taxation has mandated property values in Coshocton County be increased by an average of 28% for Tax Year 2024.
“We are still seeing high prices for properties and I believe most of the new values for Tax Year 2024 are below what a vast majority of properties could be sold for”, said Coshocton County Auditor Grant K. Daugherty.
What does this mean for your property taxes for 2025? There will be some increase, but how much is not known at this time. We will have clearer picture about this information after the November election, because of the property tax levies on the ballot.
“Property values going up is a double edge sword”, said Auditor Daugherty, “as property owners, which I am one, we want our properties to increase in value. But we do not want to pay any more in property taxes”.
For an estimate of your property taxes, property owners can go to the Auditor’s web page at
and at the top, click on “Property Search” and then either click “Owner Name” or “Address”. Put in the required information and this will take you to the Auditor’s Profile page. On the left-hand side towards the bottom is the Tax Estimator. Put in your property value and it will give you an estimate of what your property taxes will be before any credits are applied.
If you have any questions about your property values, please contact the Auditor’s office at 740-622-1243 and ask for Jarrod Tipton.
If you feel your property values are incorrect, you can file a formal appeal with the Board of Revision. This is done in the Auditor’s office starting January 1st to March 31st, 2025.
