Rep. Hall Presents Sponsor Testimony, Advocates For Real Property Tax Relief

COLUMBUS — State Rep. Derrick Hall (D-Akron) today presented sponsor testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee in favor of House Bill 365, the Property Tax Refund Act.

The legislation aims to relieve Ohioans of the burdens of the property tax crisis by providing a refund when a homeowner or renter’s bill exceeds 5% of their income. 

“I introduced House Bill 365 because my constituents’, and homeowners across Ohio, have been struggling with rising property taxes for too long. This circuit breaker bill is a tried-and-true method for providing adequate, targeted relief, while maintaining funding for schools, first responders, and other necessary local services,” said Rep. Hall. “Although we’ve reached the end of the general assembly, I’m grateful that I had the opportunity to speak out about this issue. If HB 365 doesn’t make it to the finish line this year, I plan to reintroduce it and continue advocating for it as soon as we begin our next term.”
