The REAPPRAISAL process

Market values change over time as properties are bought and sold

Ohio law requires the tax commissioner to order a reappraisal of all real property in each county once in each six-year period (ORC

The reappraisal contract must be approved by the tax commissioner prior to beginning any work.

The steps and timelines may vary slightly from county to county.

Analysis

The County Auditor’s office takes great care to ensure that the property information is correct and that each property is assessed in a fair and uniform manner.

Neighborhood boundaries are established and historic trends and actual sales from the previous three years are considered to determine the estimated fair market value of each property.

Consideration is made for sales leading up to submission of the Tentative Abstract.Slide6

Setting

The estimated fair market value is used as the gauge when valuing property and setting the appraisal.

Fair market value is defined as the most probable price each property would be estimated to sell for in an open market between a willing buyer and a willing seller, neither being under any pressure to buy or sell, and all parties having full knowledge of all relevant facts about the property, and with financing that is available to the general public. (Land contracts are not included)

Second Monday in June the Tentative Abstract Must be filed with the Ohio Tax Commissioner (OAC 5703-25-16)Slide7

Feedback

When the County Auditor announces the completion of the property valuations, notices are sent

to property

owners and all records are made available for public inspection.

Property owners that have questions or concerns about their valuation have the opportunity to arrange a face-to-face meeting with a county representative to discuss their valuation. Property owners should submit documentation for any requested changes.

Appraisers will review all information provided by the property owner, up to and including a re-visit to the property.Slide8

Review

Once the feedback stage is complete, the valuations are sent to the state for review and validation. The Ohio Tax Commissioner must sign off on the reappraisal values to ensure that the values are fair, correct and follow accurate trends across each county.

The Final Abstract is submitted to the State for approval. (OAC 5703-25-16)

The Tax Commissioner has the authority to request that each county modify the values.Slide9

Finalization

The County Auditor will receive the confirmation of approval of the Final Abstract from the State.

The property valuations are complete and records are made available for public inspection.

The auditor shall advertise the completion of the reappraisal in a newspaper of general circulation (ORC § 5713.01)Slide10

The Triennial Update process

Ohio law requires the tax commissioner to order a triennial update of all real property on the third year following the reappraisal. (ORC

The Triennial contract must also be approved by the tax commissioner prior to beginning any work.

The steps and timelines may vary slightly from county to county

and are not the same as a reappraisal. Based on Sales Ratio studies and there is not a physical inspection of every property.

Values are adjusted by a percentage based on sales trends by neighborhood.There is considerably less opportunity for feedback in the Triennial Update Process.

Be familiar with the dates of your county’s reappraisal and update

Provide information to the Auditor that may be helpful throughout the reappraisal process

in a timely mannerStay in touch with the office and “check-in” throughout the processReview the valuation adjustments for your district prior to the tentative and final abstract submission Large variances should come with reasonable explanations
