Dear Official(s),

I hope this message finds you well. As a concerned Ohio resident and constituent, I am writing to respectfully urge you to vote in favor of overriding Governor Mike DeWine’s recent vetoes on critical property tax reform provisions in the state budget.
Ohio families are struggling under the weight of rapidly rising property taxes, driven by soaring home valuations. The reforms passed by the General Assembly—before being vetoed—offered meaningful relief and accountability, including:
- Empowering county budget commissions to reduce excessive property tax rates when revenues exceed expenditures, even if those rates were previously approved by voters.
- Ensuring fairness in school funding by including emergency and substitute levies in the 20-mill floor calculation, preventing districts from collecting taxes that were never directly approved by voters.
- Limiting the unchecked growth of replacement levies, which often bypass voter scrutiny and contribute to tax burdens without transparency.
These reforms were carefully crafted to balance the needs of local governments and school districts with the urgent need for tax relief among homeowners, especially seniors and working families.
Governor DeWine’s vetoes ignore the growing frustration of Ohioans who feel increasingly squeezed by property taxes. The legislature has a constitutional responsibility to act in the best interest of its citizens—and that means standing by the reforms you already passed with bipartisan support.
Please vote to override these vetoes during the upcoming special session on July 21. Your leadership on this issue will make a real difference in the lives of countless Ohioans.
Thank you for your service and for listening to the voices of your constituents.

Ohio homeowners are facing a property tax crisis, and now is the time to act. Governor DeWine recently vetoed key reforms that would have provided much-needed relief and restored fairness to our tax system. These reforms were passed with strong legislative support and are essential to protecting families, seniors, and working Ohioans from unsustainable tax hikes. By sending a quick email to your state representative, you can help urge the Ohio House to override these vetoes and stand up for taxpayers. Your voice matters—let’s make it heard.
