Tax estimator and tax rates

The Medina County Auditor Tax Estimator estimates 2025 property taxes due and payable in 2026. It uses the appraised value, tax district, property type, and eligible reductions such as owner occupancy credit or homestead reduction.

For tax year 2025, the county purpose total shown is 9.115 mills. The Real Estate Taxes page also lists county, school, township, vocational education, corporation, and other rates by district.

A tax estimate is not the same as a final bill. Use the bill or Treasurer payment record when you need the amount currently due.

Prepay escrow program

The Treasurer’s Office offers a prepay escrow program for taxpayers who want to make smaller monthly payments instead of larger twice-yearly payments. Taxes must be current, or the taxpayer must be on a delinquent payment plan.

  • Automatic withdrawal uses monthly ACH payments equal to 1/10 of the estimated annual tax bill.
  • Coupon payment uses monthly mailed coupons for August through December and January through May payments.
  • Prepay coupon payments received after May 15 or December 15 are returned.

For prepay program questions, call (330) 764-8020.

Appeals, homestead, and delinquency records

Property owners who disagree with the Auditor’s valuation may file a challenge with the Medina County Board of Revision. Forms must be filed with the County Auditor between January 1 and March 31.

The Board of Revision determines true market value and does not handle tax rates or a neighbor’s appraised value. For 2026, the Auditor’s Office states that BOR forms are accepted until March 31, 2026.

Homestead Exemption programs are handled by the Auditor’s Office. The standard program is for qualifying low-income senior citizens and permanently, totally disabled Ohioans. The Auditor also lists expanded homestead programs for disabled veterans and surviving spouses of public service officers killed in the line of duty.

The Auditor also provides a delinquency report with parcel, taxpayer, certified year, vacant status, and amount information.
