1. What is the "non-business credit" on my tax bill?: The reduction on any property classed as agricultural or residential was formerly known as the 10% Rollback and is now known as the "Non-Business Credit". However, this will no longer be a full 10% reduction since rollbacks will no longer apply to new levies that are enacted after the August 2013 election.

2. What is the "owner occupancy credit?": This reduction was formerly known as the 2.5% rollback for those taxpayers who own and occupy their home as of January 1 of the tax year in which they apply and is now known as the “owner occupancy credit”.

3. What should I do if I can't find my property tax bill?: Call the Treasurer's Office at 330-740-2460 to verify the amount due. Write the parcel number of your property on your check or money order when you send your payment. The parcel number is a 12-digit number that identifies your property.

6. What happens if I don't pay the full amount of property taxes by the due date?: By state law, a 10% penalty on the balance will be assessed after the due date. Past-due taxes also may lead to interest charges and inclusion of the property in the Treasurer's next negotiated tax lien certificate sale.

7. I own more than 1 piece of property. May I write 1 check for the total amount of taxes?: Yes, but please provide the parcel numbers of all properties with your payment. Write the parcel numbers on the memo line of your check, or enclose a note with your parcel numbers on it.
