Williams County Treasurer Kellie Gray announced that due to the recent enactment of House Bill 186, the printing and mailing of the second half of 2025 real property tax bills have been delayed.
As a result, the new due date for the second half of 2025 real property taxes is now July 29, 2026. This change is intended to provide ample time to produce accurate second-half bills. The due date for 2026 manufactured home taxes is July 31, 2026.
House Bill 186 introduces an Inflation Cap Credit that reduces taxes on certain school district levies and is being retroactively applied to tax year 2025 for real property and tax year 2026 manufactured homes. This may result in a lower second-half tax amount due for many taxpayers who own qualifying properties in Williams County.
County auditors and their software vendors have been working tirelessly alongside the Ohio Department of Taxation to ensure the accurate implementation of this credit on second-half tax bills.
Once implementation is completed, the Inflation Cap Credit will be applied to qualifying properties and will be identified as such on both the second-half tax bills and the property cards on the auditor’s website.
Please note that not all properties are eligible for this credit. The amount of the credit depends on several factors, including the property’s school district, classification and the taxes charged and payable to the school district. At this time, we are unable to provide estimated credit amounts until implementation has been finalized.
Property owners who qualify for this credit and have already paid in full will have their overpayment applied to the following tax year.
The Williams County Treasurer’s Office appreciates the public’s patience and understanding as these adjustments are implemented. Taxpayers are encouraged to contact the Williams County Treasurer’s office with any questions or concerns at 419-636-1850.
