WARREN — The Warren-Trumbull County Public Library is partnering with the Trumbull County Auditor’s office for a series of educational presentations about recent property tax legislation passed by the Ohio General Assembly.

Trumbull County Auditor Martha Yoder will lead the sessions to help residents better understand five key pieces of legislation:

• House Bill 96 — Enhanced owner occupancy and homestead exemption.

• House Bill 186 — Inflation cap on the 20-mill floor for school districts.

• House Bill 335 — Inflation cap on inside mills.

• House Bill 129 — Changes to the 20-mill floor calculation.

• House Bill 309 — Authority of the Budget Commission.

The sessions are designed to give residents a clear understanding of how these changes will impact taxpayers, as well as property tax-supported entities such as schools, municipalities, libraries, first responders and townships. This series is intended to be strictly informative, educational and nonpartisan in nature.

The sessions will take place at five Warren-Trumbull County Public Library locations, making them convenient and accessible for community members across the area. Each free presentation will cover the same material, allowing residents to attend the location or date that best fits their schedule:

• June 8, 6 p.m. — Liberty Library, 415 Churchill-Hubbard Road.

• June 10, 6 p.m. — Warren Library, 444 Mahoning Ave. NW
