See how your rates compare with neighboring communities

Here is a pop quiz for all of you home-owning citizens in Lake, Geauga, Cuyahoga and Ashtabula counties.

  • How are those property-tax dollars divided up?
  • Are your property taxes higher or lower than those of homeowners in neighboring communities?
