** 2nd Half Real Estate Tax Bills Delayed**

Notice to residents and taxpayers: The second half real estate tax bills will be delayed due to the implementation of Ohio House Bill 186. House Bill 186 establishes an inflation cap credit that reduces taxes on certain school district levies. Per legislation the credit is to be applied retroactively to tax year 2025 for real property and tax year 2026 for manufactured homes. As a result, property owners may see a reduced second-half tax charge.

This new credit will appear on your tax bills as the “inflation cap credit”.

To ensure the accuracy of tax billing, the due date for the second half taxes has not been certified; however, the expectant due date will be no earlier than July 20th, 2026.

For questions on billing and payments contact the Brown County Treasurer’s Office at 937-378-6705 or via email treasurer@browncountyohio.gov.

She also handles delinquent tax payment plans for taxpayers that find it difficult to pay their semi-annual tax bill. Another budgeting tool provided is the tax escrow program (TIP) that allows for the taxpayer to actually make monthly payments toward their upcoming tax bills, either by making payments directly to the Treasurer or through an automatic debit process at their bank. Local banks also accept payments in person as a public service to our community. Treasurer Stamper is dedicated to the efficient management of her office and safeguarding of funds in her care.
