Allen County commissioners took questions from Lima Rotarians on Monday as they delivered their annual State of the County address.

The Allen County Treasurer wants to remind property owners that taxes are due next week.

The Lima/Allen County Chamber of Commerce hosted the Big 7 regional thought roundtable luncheon to discuss Ohio's current economy with various state organizations.

“If you don't pay by that point, it's going to roll forward into the next year, and that's when you start getting interest charged on those delinquent charges,” Bohn said. “However, once you're about 18 months delinquent and you have been posted in the newspaper, which also happens after we do that delinquent billing cycle, then you are eligible for foreclosure.”

DeWine issued 67 line-item vetoes, including the removal of proposed property tax changes that lawmakers had included, which he said would have impacted schools and local governments.

Lima City Council held a special meeting to pass a resolution opposing House Bill 335, known as the "Property Tax Relief Now Act." According to the city's finance director, Meri Foster, the bill would eliminate inside millage of property taxes for cities, counties and school systems as the state looks to reduce property taxes.

As the Ohio Senate continues to craft its version of the state’s next two-year budget, local school officials are urging lawmakers to consider the impact on public education funding.
