The county tax-drag math applies here
Property tax on a Zanesville rental is set at the Muskingum County rate: 0.81% effective, below the 1.36% Ohio average. The full worked PITIA and DSCR example, built on a property at the county's median value, is on the Muskingum County page — here's the tax line specifically for a property at Zanesville's own numbers:
- Property value used
- $182,200 (countywide)
- Muskingum County effective tax rate
- 0.81%
- Estimated monthly property tax
- $123
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.
