New property tax laws go into effect in Ohio
俄亥俄州新的房地產稅法正式生效
In March 2026, Ohio implemented a major reform to its property tax system.
二〇二六年三月，俄亥俄州對其財產稅制度實施了一項重大改革。
This change follows a package of bills signed by Governor Mike DeWine, designed to stop the sharp, automatic tax increases that many residents faced after the pandemic.
此項變革源於州長麥克·德懷恩（ㄇㄞˋㄎㄜˇㄉㄜˊㄏㄨㄞˊ恩）簽署的一系列法案，旨在阻止疫情後許多居民面臨的劇烈且自動的稅收增加。
A core part of these reforms is the new "inflation cap," which prevents tax revenue from growing faster than the rate of inflation.
這些改革的核心部分是新的「通貨膨脹上限」，它防止稅收收入的增長速度超過通貨膨脹率。
Additionally, the state is increasing tax credits for homeowners who live in their own houses, while gradually removing credits for rental properties and vacant land.
此外，該州正在增加自住屋主（ㄓㄨˇㄨ）的稅收抵免，同時逐步取消出租物業和空地的抵免。
These laws also change how school levies work, closing loopholes that previously allowed for unvoted tax spikes.
這些法律還改變了學校徵稅（ㄓㄥˋㄕㄨㄟˋ）的運作方式，堵住了以前允許未經投票即稅收飆升的漏洞。
Furthermore, county auditors now have more oversight regarding property valuations to ensure fairness.
再者，縣審計員現在對物業估值擁有更多監督權，以確保公平。
