Franklin County Auditor, Clarence Mingo, recently announced that 2014 complaints to lower property taxes were the lowest since 2007.
In 2007, 3,307 complaints were filed in Franklin County challenging the auditor’s property tax valuation. In 2014, that number was 4,093. To put these figures in context, during the height of the recession in 2010, there were a record 13,605 complaints filed.
What this means is that out of the nearly 445,000 parcels of property in Franklin County, Ohio, 99% of property owners did not file an appeal to lower property taxes assessed against the parcel. The auditor indicates that the reduced appeal numbers mean the Franklin County real estate market is improving.
