COLUMBUS—State Representative Phil Plummer (R-Dayton) today announced that the Ohio House of Representatives approved House Bill 28. This legislation aims to simplify Ohio’s property tax system, promote transparency, and avoid unintended property tax increases by eliminating replacement property tax levies.

Under House Bill 28, local governments will be prohibited from proposing replacement property tax levies – which can mislead voters and result in unexpected property tax increases – beginning with elections held on or after October 21, 2025. The bill will not affect existing replacement levies.

“House Bill 28 was a big step toward bringing property tax relief to our community,” said Plummer. “Eliminating replacement property tax levies increases levy transparency.”

The legislation will preserve the ability of local governments to renew existing levies and propose increases or new levies directly.

House Bill 28 now moves the Ohio Senate for consideration.
