Warren-Trumbull County Public Library and Trumbull County Auditor plan educational series about Ohio property tax legislation

(04/30/2026) – The Warren-Trumbull County Public Library is partnering with the Trumbull County Auditor’s office for a series of educational presentations about recent property tax legislation passed by the Ohio General Assembly.

Trumbull County Auditor Martha Yoder will lead the sessions to help residents better understand five key pieces of legislation:

HB 96 – Enhanced owner occupancy and homestead exemption;
HB 186 – Inflation cap on the 20-mill floor for school districts;
HB 335 – Inflation cap on inside mills;
HB 129 – Changes to the 20-mill floor calculation;
HB 309 – Authority of the Budget Commission.

The sessions are designed to inform residents with a clear understanding of how these changes will impact taxpayers, as well as property tax–supported entities such as schools, municipalities, libraries, first responders, and townships. This series is intended to be strictly informative, educational, and nonpartisan in nature.

The sessions will be held at five Warren-Trumbull County Public Library locations, making them convenient and accessible for community members across the area. Each presentation will cover the same material, allowing residents to attend the location or date that best fits their schedule.

The educational sessions are free and open to the public.
