…Auditor Stinziano Launches “Know Your Home Value” Campaign
a. Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano announced the launch of the Know Your Home Value campaign to educate property owners about the role they have in determining their assessed property value.
b. The Know Your Home Value initiative comes as the Auditor’s office launches the Triennial Update, which will update property values for all 435,000-plus parcels in Franklin County.
c. In Ohio, county auditors are required to do a full, general reappraisal once every six years. On the third year in between reappraisals, county auditors are required by Ohio law to adjust property values based on sales and the market over the past three years. The Franklin County Auditor’s office last performed a full property appraisal in 2017, so state law requires a Triennial Update in 2020.
d. The Auditor’s office has launched a new website, http://apps.franklincountyauditor.com/KnowYourHomeValue, with Triennial information, an educational video and the ability to schedule virtual and in-person Informal Value Review meetings where homeowners can challenge their tentative home values. Because of the pandemic, the office has adapted and is encouraging the use of virtual meetings, where owners can discuss their property values online with an appraiser from the comfort of their homes.
