HB 154 requires school districts to approve property tax exemptions for new residential construction or remodeling in designated "community reinvestment areas" before they can be granted. Property owners seeking these exemptions must submit applications to a housing officer, who then forwards them to the local school board for approval within 45 days. The bill ensures school districts have a formal role in approving exemptions for residential properties, though it includes an alternative where owners can pay school districts 25% of estimated tax savings instead of seeking approval. This directly affects homeowners and developers in areas designated for community reinvestment, changing how tax exemption approvals are processed.

HB 493 ends the practice of selling certificates for unpaid property taxes (delinquent tax certificates) by local governments. It directly affects counties and tax collectors who currently sell these certificates to investors. The bill amends Ohio law to require that all such sales stop by January 1, 2027, effectively "sunsetting" the program. After this date, counties will no longer be permitted to sell delinquent property tax certificates under the current system.
