PUBLIC NOTICE
In compliance with Section 5715.17 of the Revised Code of Ohio, public notice is hereby given, to the real estate owners of Monroe County, Ohio, that the County Board of Revision has completed its work of equalization and transmitted the returns to the County Auditor, and that the tax returns for the year 2022 have been revised and the valuations completed and are open for public inspection at the office of the County Auditor at Woodsfield, Ohio. As part of the 2022 Reappraisal of real property, the Monroe County Auditor’s Office was tasked with adjusting all values to bring the Auditor’s values in line with current sale prices. Therefore, there was an approximate 20% increase in land market values for all real property in the county. Values for existing buildings, with the exception of buildings that have been renovated or added onto since the last reappraisal, will largely stay the same as they were following the 2019 Update. New Current Agricultural Use Valuation (CAUV) soil values will also be implemented, as required by the Department of Taxation. The County Auditor will, upon request, furnish to any person a certificate setting forth the valuation for tax purposes of any tract, lot or parcel of real estate situated in the county, or will, upon receipt of sufficient postage, mail the same.
Furthermore, the Board of Revision of Monroe County, Ohio, will hear any complaints against valuation or assessments, except valuations fixed and assessments made by the Tax Commissioner, at the office of the County Auditor at Woodsfield, Ohio, on Monday, November 21st, at 10:00 AM.

NOTICE TO MONROE COUNTY REAL ESTATE OWNERS
In compliance with Section 5715.17 of the Revised Code of Ohio, public notice is hereby given, to the real estate owners of Monroe County, Ohio, that the Monroe County Auditor’s Office has just completed its six-year Reappraisal of real estate values in the county, as ordered by the Ohio Department of Taxation. Every six years, the Auditor’s Office views and reappraises every piece of property in the county. These values will be used for three years, beginning with Real Estate tax bills to be mailed in January, 2023.
Ohio law requires the Auditor’s Office to value all real estate at its market value, which is the likely selling price of the property based upon sales data from the previous three years. Real Estate taxes are based upon an assessed value, which is 35% of the market value.
The Auditor’s Office will not have a formal inspection period at this time, due to construction in front of the Courthouse and the difficulty in finding parking. Tentative Real Estate appraisal values are available on the Monroe County Auditor’s page on the Monroe County website at www.monroecountyohio.com. From the drop-down menus, you will need to go to Government, then click on Auditor’s Office. On the Auditor’s page, select Real Estate Inquiry, then search for your property using your name, address, or your permanent parcel number as shown on your most recent tax bill. (If you do not have a computer, tablet, or smart phone, or reliable internet access, you may call the Auditor’s Office and we will look your property up for you.)
Please review your Property Record for accuracy. You may present evidence supporting a higher or lower market value to the Auditor’s Office. Evidence may include a recent appraisal or sale of your property. Please remember than an accurate market value for your property should be a reasonable expectation of the amount for which you might sell your property. To present any evidence of market value or discuss details of your Property Record, please call the Auditor’s Office Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, at 740-472-0873.
New Real Estate tax amounts will not be available until mid to late December. New tax rates are calculated by the Ohio Department of Taxation in November after every county in the state has reported its local tax levy voting results. New tax rates will be reported to us in late November or early December, and taxes for the 2023 billing cannot be calculated until after that time. At this time, only values are available.
Please remember that the Auditor’s Office’s duty is to set fair market values for all property within the county. Real Estate taxes are based on tax rates for property tax levies passed by the voters of Monroe County and complied by the Ohio Department of Taxation.
