County hosts property valuation complaint information sessions

The Cuyahoga Board of Revision will host a series of information sessions for residents to learn about contesting their new property valuations. 

Last year, the county’s fiscal office conducted a state-mandated sexennial reappraisal to determine the value of all properties within the county. The reappraisal resulted in an average increase of 32% in home values across Cuyahoga County, resulting in many property owners seeing higher tax bills.

“We strongly encourage property owners who feel their new valuations are too high to learn about ways to contest their property values, which can ultimately result in a lower tax rate,” said Ronald O’Leary, administrator of the county’s Board of Revision. “Our team is here to help, and will be available for informative, one-on-one conversations.”

Property owners who want to contest their valuation may file a formal tax complaint with the Board of Revision. The deadline to file is March 31 at 11:59 p.m. This deadline is set by the state of Ohio and no extensions or exceptions to this deadline can be granted.
