Senior relief
Ross County's official information describes homestead relief for qualifying owners age 65 or older or totally and permanently disabled, and surviving spouses; the owner must occupy the dwelling and up to one acre. The county page also describes the enhanced disabled-veteran program and directs applicants to the current income guidelines and DTE forms.
Valuation limits
No general countywide parcel-value cap was published. Ohio real property is assessed at 35% of market value, with sexennial reappraisals and triennial updates; HB 920 reduction factors and the 20-mill floor limit voted-levy revenue growth. Effective March 20, 2026, HB 186 creates an Inflation Cap Credit for qualifying school-district/JVS levy revenue growth; it is a tax credit/collection limitation, not a general cap on appraised or taxable parcel value.
