Ohio’s CAUV Case Stays in Court

Case Brought by Farmers Against State of Ohio For Excessive Taxation (CAUV) of Ag Real Estate Proceeds

Early in 2016 a group of Northeast Ohio farmers approached CLF founder Ben Calkins to seek his help in challenging Ohio’s application of its so-called CAUV system of taxation of farm land. Ben Calkins enlisted the help and leadership of noted class action attorneys Kevin T. Roberts, Josh Cohen, and Jim Rosenthal and a complaint was filed later in 2016.

Franklin County Court of Common Pleas Judge French recently denied the State’s Motion to Dismiss and mapped out a path for the case to move forward.

We at CLF are pleased to be assisting Ohio’s struggling farmers in this important case, along with Messrs. Roberts, Cohen and Rosenthal.
