Highland Heights Property Taxes: What You Need to Know

For decades, income taxes funded over 80% of our city budget, allowing us to reliably maintain a very low property tax rate. That has been a reflection of our decades-long commitment to financial restraint. However, this model is inherently more unsustainable and riskier for a community like ours. 

Currently, Highland Heights’ 4 mills property tax is the lowest among the major cities surrounding our community. If the levy is passed, WE WILL REMAIN THE LOWEST rate among our neighboring cities.

The 5.9 mill levy would cost approximately $17 a month per $100,000 of home value, or $206.50 annually. This is an investment that protects the high-quality Safety Services we pride ourselves on, keeping Highland Heights one of the region’s safest and most desirable communities.
