Matthew Oestreich, Wood County auditor, has announced the distribution of the year’s first half manufactured home tax.

In addition to these collected taxes, Wood County subdivisions will share in homestead and rollback reimbursements from the State of Ohio approximately $178,000. This money together with an equal second half reimbursement will be distributed following the August manufactured home settlement.

The Homestead Exemption is a benefit for those at least 65 years of age or permanently disabled persons with a maximum Ohio modified adjusted gross income of $36,100.

There is also a Homestead Exemption with no income requirement for 100% or individually unemployable disabled veterans and for surviving spouses of first responders killed in the line of duty. All Homestead Exemption applicants must own their home and reside there as their principal place of residence.

Oestreich urges those who think they might qualify to contact the auditor’s office at 419-354-9173 or from Northern Wood County 866-860-4140 ext. 9173.

There are 3,953 registered manufactured homes generating a tax of $829,916.

That tax is disbursed to the political subdivisions as follows:
