ODT Posts February 2026 PLF Distribution

The Ohio Department of Taxation (ODT) posted the February 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 January 2026 came in $127.3 million or 4.6% above estimate. This means the total GRF tax receipts to-date for FY 2026 are $645 million or 3.7% more than expected. All four major categories for revenue (non-auto sales, auto sales, personal income, and commercial activity taxes) exceeded expectations. More information can be found in OBM’s Monthly Financial Report.
