Ohio Property Values Rise 22%

Ashland County's latest full reappraisal pushed avg. home values ~22% higher, leaving some owners questioning whether notices match actual market conditions locally.
Some homeowners said notices reached them after informal hearings began, while the auditor's office said postmarks were timely and blamed mail delivery delays.
A higher value notice does not mean the tax bill rises equally: Ohio taxes only 35% of market value, and voted millage adjusts downward.
Some Ashland County, OH residents at informal sessions in Late-Q3 reported waiting ~3 hr, and the auditor's office extended the window by three days.
Homeowners who believe values are incorrect can file the state complaint form with the county review board from Early-Q1 through Late-Q1 for review.
