Section 6926.327 - Property tax limits on reassessment

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, including this act, after any county makes a countywide revision of assessment of real property at values based upon an established predetermined ratio as required by law or after any county changes its established predetermined ratio, a board of school directors in a school district located within that county which, after July 1, 2006, for the first time levies its real estate taxes on that revised assessment or valuation shall for the first year reduce its tax rate, if necessary, for the purpose of having the percentage increase in taxes levied for that year against the real properties contained in the duplicate for the preceding year be less than or equal to the index for the preceding year notwithstanding the increased valuations of such properties under the revised assessment. For the purpose of determining the total amount of taxes to be levied for the first year, the amount to be levied on newly constructed buildings or structures or on increased valuations based on new improvements made to existing houses need not be considered. The tax rate shall be fixed for that year at a figure which will accomplish this purpose. The provisions of section 333 shall apply to increases in the tax rate above the limits provided in this section.
