An estimate

Mifflin didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Property tax

The typical homeowner pays $958 a year

Every local property tax on the home: town, schools and county. About 0.67% of the home’s value, vs 1.31% across Ohio.

Can I afford it? →

The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.

The school district

Hillsdale Local School District

Mifflin’s K–12 school district, shared with Hayesville, Jeromesville, Vermillion, Mohican, Mifflin and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
