About this Event
Your buyers ask about property taxes. Your sellers want to know why their bill went up. When a levy hits the ballot, your clients look to you to explain it.
Join Keller Williams Greater Cleveland Northeast for a candid, informational session with Michael Hanlon, Superintendent of Chardon Local Schools. He’ll explain what is driving property tax bills in Northeast Ohio and how it affects the homeowners you serve.
What we’ll cover:
- How Ohio funds its public schools. The roles of the state, local businesses and residential property owners.
- Why districts put levies on the ballot. What levy dollars pay for, and why requests keep coming.
- What local districts actually control and what is decided in Columbus.
- The decades-long shift in who pays. How changes to state tax law have moved more of the school funding burden onto homeowners and farmers.
- State property tax reform. Proposed changes and how they could affect both schools and taxpayers.
- Open Q&A. Bring the questions your clients are asking you.
Who should attend:
Real estate agents from every brokerage are welcome. Lenders, title partners and anyone who talks with homeowners about the cost of owning a home are welcome too. Co-op agents, please join us.
This is an educational session, not a campaign event. The goal is to help agents understand the system well enough to answer client questions accurately.
