Dear Representative,

On behalf of Americans for Prosperity-Ohio, I urge you to vote “yes” two property tax reforms today: House Bill 186 and House Bill 335. This vote may be recorded in our 2025-2026 legislative scorecard.

At Americans for Prosperity, we advocate for property tax solutions like HB 186 and HB 335 that are simple, transparent, and fair. Our preferred approaches include:

• Broad-Based, Low-Rate Taxes
• Elimination of Special Interest Carve-Outs
• Predictable and Permanent Reforms
• Transparency and Accountability

HB 186 and HB 335 are designed to provide property tax relief, increase transparency, and give voters more control. HB 186 caps school district property tax increases to the rate of inflation, applying reductions broadly to residential, agricultural, and business properties. HB 335 eliminates unvoted inside millage, standardizes property tax treatment, and enhances oversight and accountability by involving county budget commissions and requiring public hearings for anticipated tax increases.

For these reasons, we encourage a “yes” vote on HB 186 and HB 335.

Thank you to the sponsors and co-sponsors for leading on this issue, and to the committee for vetting these proposals. 

Respectfully,

Hannah Kubbins

Legislative Director, Americans for Prosperity – Ohio
