Origin |
Ohio Laws Against the Double Taxation of Property Amendment was on the ballot as a legislatively referred constitutional amendment in Ohio on November 5, 1918. It was approved.
A “yes” vote supported allowing for the passage of a law that prevents double taxation resulting for the taxation of both real estate and the mortgage on the real estate. |
A “no” vote opposed allowing for the passage of a law that prevents double taxation resulting for the taxation of both real estate and the mortgage on the real estate. |
Aftermath
There were two measures in 1918 relating to Article XII, Section 2 of the Ohio Constitution. Both measures were approved by voters, however, because this measure received more votes than the amendment submitted by initiative petition, only this measure was adopted.[1]
