Ohio Property Tax Reform & Its Impact on EMS & Fire Services
What Your Community Needs to Know
WHAT’S HAPPENING IN OHIO?
A grassroots group, Citizens for Property Tax Reform, is gathering signatures to put a constitutional amendment to vote in November 2026. They want to fully eliminate property taxes. While homeowners would welcome the relief, there are major concerns. EMS & Fire departments rely heavily on property taxes and could lose 60-70% of revenue if taxes are fully eliminated.
HOW COULD THIS AFFECT YOURs LOCAL DEPARTMENTS?
Eliminating property taxes without a replacement funding source could:
Reduce staffing due to the lack of sustainable operating funds
Increase response times as departments cut shifts or delay vehicle maintenance.
Close stations altogether
Increase risk to community safety, & more.
COMMUNITY-BASED SOLUTIONS TO KEEP SERVICES STRONG
Hard billing for ALL consumers
No grace given for residents of your community
EMS membership or subscription programs
Annual fee covers emergencies
Higher business inspection and compliance fees
Pursuing grants and interagency partnerships to leverage additional funding, & more.
