By Ohio law, property in all counties is reappraised every six years, with property values updated every third year based on recent sales. This year, some areas of Montgomery County are projected to see property value increases up to 48%, and taxes in some areas could increase up to 12%.

Whether you own a home or rent, the new valuation and taxes will have significant effects for those living in the Miami Valley.

To help answer your questions about these increases, the Dayton Daily News hosted a Community Conversation on the Dayton Daily News Facebook page. Community Impact Editor Nick Hrkman and reporter Sydney Dawes led a discussion with panelists from around the region, including:

  • Greg Blatt, president of Dayton Realtors
  • Destiny Brown, Community Organizer for Advocates for Basic Legal Equality, Inc. (ABLE)
  • Thomas Hall, Ohio State Rep. for District 46
  • Karl Keith, Montgomery County Auditor
