What land sells for nearby

Land in Franklin County sold for:

  • Lots under 1 acre: $21.5k–$51.5k a lot (28 sales, Oct 2024–Sep 2026); median $37.5k
  • 1 to 10 acres: $56.5k–$133k an acre (17 sales, Oct 2024–Sep 2026); median $89.9k

The middle half (25th to 75th percentile) and the median of arm's-length single-parcel land sales. Each size uses its own months (the shortest of 12, 24 or 36 that holds enough sales), so the sizes' counts need not add up to another figure on this page. Source: the county's own recorded sales, arm's-length by the county's own flag. Recorded sales, not an estimate of any parcel.

Appraised value

  • How Ohio values propertyOhio county auditors appraise property at 100% of its true (market) value at each six-year reappraisal and three-year update (R.C. 5713.01, 5715.33); taxes are levied on 35% of that value. It is the county's figure as of its last revaluation, not a sale price.Ohio Revised Code 5713, 5715
  • Last revaluationReappraisal, tax year 2023: Franklin CountyOhio Department of Taxation reappraisal schedule 2023-2028 · 2026-01
  • Farm-use valuationEnrolled in CAUV (current agricultural use value): the farmland is taxed on its agricultural-use value, well below what farmland sells for (R.C. 5713.30-.31). Taking it out of farm use brings a recoupment of the last three years' tax savings (R.C. 5713.34).Franklin County Auditor

About these ratingsFEMA's index and what it measures

Ratings come from FEMA's National Risk Index (v1.20, planning-level) and the public federal and state maps named on each row, not a private climate model. FEMA rates each census tract from expected annual losses, community resilience and social vulnerability, for planning; it is not an assessment of this parcel.
