How Ohio Data Centers Avoid Paying Millions in Property Taxes

Ohio data centers have received significant property tax breaks from local governments to attract development, resulting in millions of dollars in avoided taxes. Companies like Amazon, Meta, and Google have benefited from these incentives, with Amazon avoiding approximately $5.4 million in property taxes for two data centers in tax year 2024. While proponents argue these incentives boost economic growth and support local investments, critics claim they reduce funding for schools and communities, especially as some companies also qualify for additional sales tax breaks. The use of tax abatements and incentives remains a contentious issue, with discussions ongoing about potential regulations or limits.
