The various Local Government Funds are transfers of
State Revenue to the County and the Townships, Municipalities, and Libraries within the
County. For the Local Government & Revenue Assistance Fund and the Local
Government Fund, the Budget Commission, of which the Auditor is Secretary, holds
hearings to determine the apportioning percentages. The Auditor applies these percentages
to the amount certified by the Tax Commissioner. The Auditor must also publish the
apportionments in a newspaper of general paid circulation. Any subdivision entitled to
receive a share of these Funds may appeal the decision of the Budget Commission. The
Auditor must then supply all relevant information the Board of Tax Appeals. No money may
be distributed until the appeals are settled. As an alternative, the Budget Commission may
use the apportionment percentages specified in the Revised Code.
For the County Library & Local Government Support Fund, the Auditor must go
back to the classified tax settlement in 1984, the last year for this tax, and determine
which subdivisions received any money, and how much. Based on this information, the
Auditor then apportions the current year’s money in the same proportions.
The Auditor is required to disburse the County Library & Local Government Support
Fund and the Local Government Fund funds to the several eligible subdivisions
by the 15th of each month (§5747.58 & §5748.50). The Local
Government & Revenue Assistance Fund shall be distributed by the 20th
of each month (§5747.61).
The Auditor shall apportion and distribute among the libraries any collection of
delinquent classified tax in the June and October disbursements.
