Figures gathered October 2026 from public market data.
Who rents in Dublin
Dublin has 49,294 residents in the ACS 2020–2024 estimates. Of 17,995 occupied homes, 13,873 are owner-occupied and 4,122, or 22.9%, are rented. The median household income is $160,296. Rent burden is comparatively light: 1,352 renter households, 32.8%, spend 30% or more of income on rent. The office base includes the headquarters of Cardinal Health, and OhioHealth Dublin Methodist Hospital adds medical jobs.
Rents and the apartment stock
Dublin's median gross rent is $1,686. HUD's FY2026 Fair Market Rents for the Columbus metro are below that level for efficiency through two-bedroom units:
| Unit size | HUD FY2026 FMR (Columbus metro) |
|---|---|
| Efficiency | $1,111 |
| One-bedroom | $1,194 |
| Two-bedroom | $1,430 |
| Three-bedroom | $1,715 |
| Four-bedroom | $1,927 |
Dublin's Union County section falls in a separate FMR area with a $1,433 two-bedroom. Because the city median already exceeds the two-bedroom FMR, Dublin apartment income depends mainly on market leases rather than voucher rents.
The stock is young, with a median year built of 1996. Of 18,639 units, 12,772 are detached and 2,353 attached houses; duplexes are rare at 97 units. Buildings of five or more units hold 2,659 homes, 14.3%: 603 in five- to nine-unit buildings, 564 in 10 to 19, 655 in 20 to 49 and 837 in complexes of 50 or more.
Property taxes
Ohio taxes 35% of market value, and apartments of four or more units are commercial under the state's land-use codes, so the 10% rollback does not apply. The Franklin County Auditor's 2025 rate file lists 145.04 gross mills for City of Dublin–Washington Township–Dublin CSD, with a commercial effective rate of 91.30 mills (about 3.20% of market value) and residential 69.76. The Dublin–Hilliard CSD district's commercial rate is 87.41 mills. On a $1 million building in the main district, that is about $32,000 a year. Parts of Dublin lie in Delaware and Union counties, which set their own rates. Within the main district, the commercial rate runs 21.54 mills above the residential rate. Owners can contest values at the Board of Revision by March 31 under ORC 5715.19, and since March 2026 school boards may only file counter-complaints rather than start their own challenges after a sale.
Landlord rules
Ohio bars rent control under ORC 5321.19. Owners must file with the Franklin County Auditor under ORC 5323.02, with a $150 per-property fine for each tax year out of compliance, and deposits follow ORC 5321.16. At sale, the county's conveyance fee is $3 per $1,000.
