Cleveland Property Tax

Northeast Ohio voters passed the Cleveland Metroparks levy Tuesday that will fund park and zoo expansions in the region, but increase property taxes by about $27 for every $100,000 of home valuation.

The city has long offered 15-year full property tax abatements for newly built or substantially renovated housing. The new proposal is meant to direct development toward underinvested neighborhoods.
