Tax Reduction Programs

C.A.U.V. - CAUV, or Current Agricultural Use Value, is a program designed to reduce the taxable value of land being used for commercial agricultural production. To qualify you must have at least 10 acres of land in commercial agricultural use or be able to generate the minimum gross income requirement of $2,500 per year. There is a fee of $25 to sign up for this program and the owner must renew annually, but at no fee. Once the land is withdrawn from the CAUV program or no longer qualifies, some of the tax savings must be paid back. You can call our office at 330-725-9759, Medina, 330-225-7100, ext. 9759, Brunswick, or 330-336-6657, ext. 9759, Wadsworth.

Homestead Exemption Program - See our Homestead page.

Ohio Forest Tax Law is a State-managed program. If you have 10 or more acres of qualifying woodlands, you may qualify for a 50% reduction on the taxable value of the forested land. There is a one-time $50 application fee. Call 330-725-9759, 330-225-7100, ext. 9759 or 330-336-6657, ext. 9759 for information.

Homeowner reduction - Every property owner that resides in their own property is due a 2.5% reduction on their property tax bill. Homeowners must make application for this reduction. Most times this is taken care of at time of transfer of real estate. To check whether you are currently receiving this 2.5% reduction, call: Medina: 330-725-9753, Brunswick: 330-225-7100, ext. 9753 or Wadsworth: 330-336-6657, ext. 9753.
