Ten years ago, lawmakers started chopping away at certain business taxes with the promise that lost revenue we depend on for parks, schools, mental health services and libraries would be replaced. They set up a plan to temporarily reimburse local governments for the lost tax revenue through payment of “tax replacements,” with the hope economic growth would make up for the losses.The economic growth did not materialize. Both the House and Senate version of House Bill 64, the budget for fiscal years 2016-17, would cut these tax replacements by $106 million compared to the current budget. These cuts would reduce local governments’ ability to provide services that protect children, help seniors, fund libraries, maintain clean and safe parks and more.
Ohio’s cities and counties struggle to cover the cost of human services with scant support from the state. Ohio ranks last among the states in state support of children’s services.[1] Within the past five years, the Guernsey County mental health board held a raffle to raise funds to fight the opiate epidemic.[2] Yet, both the House and the Senate are spending an enormous amount of state resources – more than $1 billion - in tax cuts that primarily benefit the wealthiest Ohioans.[3]
State elimination of local taxes, the start of tax replacements
In the last decade, the legislature phased out local property taxes on tangible personal property (machinery, equipment, furniture, fixtures) of businesses and utilities. The state committed to reimburse schools, local levies and local governments for the loss of this significant tax source during a transitional period. The theory was that tax cuts for businesses would spur economic development that would replace lost revenues over time. A decade later, the promised economic development has not materialized. The taxable value of Ohio property has fallen, and full recovery is not expected until 2017.[4]
Local levies for health and human services lost $210 million in tax replacement funding during the budget for 2012 and 2013 compared to the prior biennial budget period.[5] Many lost tax replacement funding altogether during that time. The current budget stopped the phase-out for two years. The proposed budget would resume the elimination, with substantial cuts over the next two years.
Both the House and the Senate recognized the negative effect of reductions proposed in the governor’s budget for schools, and at least for a two-year period, propose to offset their effect with other financial aid. This is an excellent step. But no such support has been provided to make up for the losses in funding for health and human services.
Local governments fund important local services through taxes levied on the value of property. Medicaid does not cover some critical, non-medical services to fight the opiate epidemic, like suicide hot lines and housing.[7] Yet the budget proposal for the next two years would cut $53 million in tax replacements from local mental health and developmental disability levies (see Table 1, above).
In Allen County, the mental health board anticipates the loss of tax replacements will force them to eliminate four “life coaches,” who are helping 250 residents recover from addiction. The board of developmental disabilities anticipates they could no longer serve the families of up to 100 developmentally disabled residents.[8] Other emergency services hurt by loss of tax replacements serve businesses as well as residents. For example, the Shawnee Township Fire Department is a critical player in the regional response for hazardous materials and foam firefighting needs. Aging or limited equipment or materials can raise insurance prices for industrial users dependent on their services. Loss of tax replacements could lead to higher insurance rates for key employers.[9]
Many services lost all of their tax replacement funding in the 2012-13 budget, which accelerated the planned phase-out of tax replacements. Most of the state’s counties – 84 out of 88 – have human service or special district levies that are still supported by tax replacements. These services will be harmed in the proposed cuts in the budget for 2016-17. The appendix has county-by-county tables that compare tax replacements in calendar years 2014 with 2017
Urban counties and counties adjacent to the state’s biggest cities face significant losses. Hamilton County and Franklin County face a projected loss of about $9 million each in tax replacements for human service levies in 2017 compared to 2014. Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) will see state support drop by $7.8 million. Lucas County (Toledo) will lose 4.8 million. Montgomery County (Dayton), loses $3.9 million. Medium-sized cities and less urban counties will experience losses as well. Human service and special district levies in Portage County will lose $1.2 million by 2017. Richland County will lose $1.1 million.
Conclusion
Cuts to tax replacements proposed in the both the House and Senate version of the Ohio budget for FY 2016 and 2017 will be felt in most counties of the state. Localities have no property tax capacity to replace such loss without raising taxes. Not only have real property values failed to replace tangible property tax revenues, they have fallen since 2008 and will not recover, statewide, until 2017.
This is not the time for more cuts to local revenues. Cuts have impacted property values and quality of life in communities across the state. Further cuts will do further harm. Lawmakers need to find a permanent replacement for the tax cuts imposed on health and human service levies and special districts to maintain quality of life for Ohio families and communities.
