COLUMBUS, Ohio - Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has officially announced a new task force he says is aimed at tackling rising property taxes across the state.

The group, called the Property Tax Reform Working Group, will look for ways to lower property taxes for homeowners and businesses while making sure local services like schools, fire departments, and libraries still get enough money.

The announcement comes as Ohio Representatives plan to hold a special session on July 21 to discuss overriding DeWine’s veto of property tax reform items in the state budget.

DeWine named former lawmakers Bill Seitz and Pat Tiberi as co-chairs of the working group. Tiberi also used to be a congressman and is now the head of the Ohio Business Roundtable.

The governor conceded that as property values have gone up in Ohio over the past 10 years, the higher property taxes have become a struggle for many families and people on fixed incomes.

"Building upon previously expressed concerns and work done at many levels of government, I am forming this Property Tax Reform Working Group to issue concrete recommendations for meaningful property tax reforms that address the needs of property owners, are affordable to our state budget, and protect local schools and other services," DeWine said in a statement.

The working group is expected to present their ideas by Sept. 30. More members will be added to the group and announced later.

Some of the vetoed provisions that the coalition wants to keep blocked include limits on how much money schools can save, giving county officials more control over certain school taxes, and getting rid of some types of school levies.
