For Immediate Release
Mahoning County, Ohio – Mahoning County Auditor Ralph T. Meacham is announcing the tentative timeline for the 2023 Mahoning County Property Value Reappraisal.
Ohio law requires all county Auditors to reappraise each parcel in their county every six years. This reappraisal process involves an “on-foot or drive by” inspection of the exterior of properties to obtain accurate information regarding buildings and homes in Mahoning County. The information obtained through these inspections combined with sales data will be used in determining individual appraisal values for taxation purposes.
Due to the anticipated increases in appraised values, Auditor Meacham wants taxpayers to be aware of the timeline of the reappraisal process as well as the filing period for appeals of their new value.
