ODT Posts March 2026 PLF Distribution

The Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) posted the March 2026 Public Library Fund (PLF) distribution of $40,419,668 – which is $393,641 (or +0.98%) above ODT’s original estimate that was issued in July 2025 and ODT’s updated estimate issued in December 2025 that went unchanged.

According to the Office of Budget and Management (OBM), the state’s General Revenue Fund (GRF) tax receipts for February 2026 came in $3.3 million or 0.2% above estimate. This means the total GRF tax receipts to-date for FY 2026 are $648.8 million or 3.3% more than expected. State revenues are continuing to exceed expectations as we enter the final third of FY26 and as Governor DeWine prepares to deliver his final State of the State address tomorrow, March 10 at noon in the Ohio House Chamber. The speech can be viewed live on the Ohio Channel.

A look at the PLF distribution for the past three years and a link to an Excel spreadsheet listing each county’s distribution total for March 2026 can be found on the OLC website.
