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
