Fairfield isn't contained entirely within Butler County — it also extends into Hamilton County.

02
Home values and rent in Fairfield
Countywide, Butler County's median home value is $258,500 (ACS 2020-2024 5yr) — a Fairfield-specific figure isn't independently published, so this reflects the whole county, not Fairfield alone. Countywide, Butler County's median gross rent is $1,135/mo (ACS 2020-2024 5yr) — again, a county figure standing in for a Fairfield number we don't have.
03
The county tax-drag math applies here
Fairfield sits in Butler County, where the effective property tax rate is 1.18% — below Ohio's 1.36% statewide average. The full worked PITIA and DSCR example, built on a property at the county's median value, is on the Butler County page — here's the tax line specifically for a property at Fairfield's own numbers:
- Property value used
- $258,500 (countywide)
- Butler County effective tax rate
- 1.18%
- Estimated monthly property tax
- $254
That estimate uses an observed Ohio DSCR average of 7.20% (Q2 2026)¹ elsewhere in the full county example — this is a market observation, not an offer; your rate depends on your DSCR, credit, LTV and loan purpose, and is set by the lender, not by us.
