2nd half tax due date for 2026 and house bill 186

Important Information About the 2nd Half Taxes

Ohio House Bill 186 provides property tax relief by limiting how much school property taxes can increase when property values rise. For residents in Meigs County, this means tax bills may grow more slowly than in the past, and in some cases, a credit may be applied to help offset increases. While the law does not eliminate taxes or change voter-approved levies, it helps protect homeowners from large, unexpected spikes—particularly in the school portion of their property tax bill.

2nd Half Tax Due Date 2026 The exact due date for second half taxes will be announced following Governor DeWine's review of House Bill 186, which has been passed by both Chambers. We will post an update here when we know more!

Printable Change of address form is available below.

If I mail in my tax bills can I still get a receipt?

Yes, this is also stated in a yellow box on your tax bill(s). If you need a stamped receipt, return the entire bill with a self-addressed stamped envelope, and we will mail the receipt back to you.

What is the process for obtaining a delinquent tax contract?

Property owners who are unable to pay their delinquent real estate taxes in full may be eligible to enter into a delinquent tax contract with the Treasurer’s Office. This agreement allows taxes to be paid in installments over time. If you think you might qualify and would like assistance please contact us or stop by the office.

How are my property taxes determined?

Your Market Value is multiplied by 35% to arrive at your Assessed Value. Your Assessed Value is then multiplied by the Effective Tax Rate for your political subdivision to arrive at your Gross Tax. The County Auditor’s Office is mandated by law to make ALL tax calculations on your behalf. The Treasurer’s Office is then required to bill and collect them.

Where do my property taxes go in the county?

Great question! This is also laid out for you on your tax bills, under DISTRIBUTION.

School District – The largest portion of your taxes goes to local schools. This funding supports teachers, staff, facilities, and educational programs.
County General Fund – Helps fund general county operations, including administration, courts, and public services.
Townships – Supports local township services such as road maintenance and local governance.
EMS (Emergency Medical Services) – Provides funding for emergency response and ambulance services.
Senior Citizens Services – Supports programs and services for elderly residents in the county.
Libraries – Funds public library services, resources, and community programs.
Board of Health – Helps fund public health services and programs.
Other/Voted Levies – May include additional voter-approved levies for specific services

The majority of your property taxes typically go toward local schools, with the remaining portions supporting essential services like emergency response, roads, public health, and county operations. The Treasurer’s Office is responsible for collecting and distributing these funds. Tax rates and how funds are divided are determined by voter-approved levies and local government budgets—not the Treasurer’s Office

Why are real estate taxes collected one year in arrears?

Tax levies are imposed in the year voted on by the citizen's of Meigs County. For example, during the regular May primary or November general elections, the levies passed by the voters are for that current tax year. However, the tax bills are actually payable in the following year. For example, the voters approve a five year levy in November of 2026, the tax bills for 2026 will be payable in 2027.

Is there a real estate tax deduction for elderly or disabled people?

Yes, The Homestead Credit, is a deduction for elderly persons 65 years old or older with a income of $41,000 or less. This also applies to permanently or totally disabled people. For more information please contact the Meigs County Auditors Office at 740-992-2698.

My property taxes are paid for by my mortgage company, but I received a bill. What should I do?

If you receive a tax bill in error, contact your mortgage company immediately to determine if they have collected the funds and intend to pay the bill.

Can I write just one check even though I have multiple tax bills?

Yes you can, If you send your payment in the mail, please be sure to include all of your bill stubs or all of your parcel numbers so that the office knows how to distribute the total on your check.
