Ohio Weight-Distance Tax
Ohio has no state weight-distance or highway-use tax. It ran an axle-mile highway-use tax decades ago but repealed it, and only Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Connecticut charge a per-mile truck tax today. You still owe IFTA fuel tax through the Ohio Department of Taxation, IRP apportioned registration, and, at 55,000 lb and up, the federal Form 2290 HVUT, same as every state. No separate per-mile credential is required.

IFTA and registration still apply
Every state, including Ohio, still reaches you through the IFTA fuel tax (reconciled by the fuel you burn) and IRP apportioned registration (your plate). The only states that add a per-mile weight-distance or highway-use tax on top are Kentucky, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Connecticut.
