The Accurate Assessment
by the Honorable Andrea Weaver, Union County Auditor
(June 2024, 4.2)
-Property tax credits-
Ohio offers several property tax credit programs to homeowners:
Homestead has undergone a few changes in the past few years. It allows for a $26,200 valuation credit for those folks who:
Additionally, Ohio law extends an additional benefit to those veterans who are 100% disabled as a result of their military service, regardless of their age. The Veteran’s Homestead Exemption calculates the tax credit by exempting $50,000 of market value instead of the standard $26,200. This additional exemption is authorized for veterans experiencing 100% service-connected disabilities.
One common misconception is that this is something that must be re-applied for each year. That is true, if you believe your income has changed, putting you over the maximum income requirement. If your income hasn’t changed, then there is no need to re-apply for the Exemption – it will remain on your property – as long as you own it, and it’s your primary residence. But this is a self-monitoring exemption, i.e. if your circumstances change, it is Ohio law that you report those changes.
If you have questions about any of these or to see if you qualify, feel free to reach out to us.

So excited to once again receive the coveted Ohio Auditor of State Award with Distinction! Because of the leadership of my budgetary team, specifically Amy Wesley, Union County has earned this award a number of times, and we are very excited every time! The award requires many things including a clean audit report and one that does not contain any findings for recovery. It takes a lot of effort, and our success is all due to the efforts of my budgetary team and their leadership with the rest of the county's fiscal officers.
We have a winner of our 1st Annual Memorial Day Coloring Contest!
Her name is Emily, Age 9 from Raymond Elementary.
Andrea Weaver, Union County Auditor, presented an American Flag/ Pole Set.
We look forward to doing this again next year!
