Does Ohio have a homestead exemption for everyone?

No. Ohio's homestead exemption removes $25,000 of market value but only for owners aged 65+, disabled, or surviving spouses (income-tested). Ordinary owner-occupiers do not get a flat general property-tax homestead exemption, so this estimate applies none. Check the Ohio Department of Taxation to see if you qualify for the age/disability program.
