Following a 2020 reappraisal, the Ohio Department of Taxation rejected the county’s calculated 7.4% increase on residential property values and ordered an adjustment that more than doubled that value increase to an average of 15.5% countywide, which worked out to an increase on 82% of the county’s residential parcels, according to Montgomery County Auditor Karl Keith.
“I recognize that these unusual circumstances add confusion to an already complicated process,” Keith wrote in his final valuation notice to property owners.
Montgomery County property owners can formally dispute the new valuation by lodging a complaint by March 31 with the Board of Revision by visiting www.mc-bor.org or learn more about the process by calling the county’s Real Estate Assessment Department at 937-225-4326.
