The current administration of property tax assessment on privately owned golf courses in Ohio is inconsistent, inequitable and burdensome. Real property tax liability for similarly situated courses varies greatly from county to county. Owners have no ability to financially plan for unpredictable increases in property tax assessments by county auditors. Methodologies differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from year to year within jurisdictions.

In addition to inconsistent property tax assessment, privately owned golf course in Ohio struggle annually with rising costs of doing business and increased competition from government owned golf courses, which are subsidized with taxpayer money. These artificial market restraints, combined with unpredictable assessments have established a severe financial burden on privately owned golf courses. The typical private golf course is a family owned business which wants to grow its enterprise and invest in its Ohio-based business.
