Ohio schools propose income taxes to avoid property hikes and budget cuts, citing voter resistance and financial shortfalls.
Ohio school districts, including New Philadelphia and Parma, are proposing earned income taxes to replace property tax increases amid voter resistance.
New Philadelphia seeks a 1.5% income tax to fund school rebuilding, exempting retirement and investment income, while Parma aims for a 1.75% tax to cover operations and eliminate three levies, saving homeowners $40.5 million.
Both districts say the measures are necessary to avoid budget cuts, with Parma projecting a $13 million shortfall by 2029.
The shift reflects a growing trend across Ohio, where about half of school income tax proposals have passed since the 2000s and 66% of levies passed in 2025.
