Franklin County Auditor briefs New Albany on property value update; tentative values go online June 9
Summary
A Franklin County Auditor representative told New Albany council that tentative property values will be posted on the Know Your Home Value website on June 9. The three‑year, state‑mandated update uses arms‑length sales (no exterior inspections); reviews run July–September and values finalize in December with Board of Revision appeals available.
County officials from the Franklin County Auditor’s office briefed the council on the mandated three‑year property value update and the timeline for public review.
Beth Bermin Kinney, director of community outreach for the auditor’s office, said the office began collecting sales data in January and submitted information to the Ohio Department of Taxation in March. "Next week after June 9, the Know Your Home Value website will have your tentative property values on the website," she told council, adding that a mailed notice will follow later in June.
Bermin Kinney explained the office is relying on arms‑length sales for the update and is not conducting exterior visits as they did in 2023. Property owners who disagree with tentative values may sign up for a property value review July–September at in‑person sites or virtually; values are finalized in December and property owners can then file appeals through the Board of Revision.
On the question of tax impact, the auditor’s office said the county will publish a tax estimator on the Know Your Home Value site after June 9 so residents can see possible effects. The presenter emphasized uncertainty about tax changes because levies, rollback rates and voter‑approved measures ultimately affect tax bills; the timing of elections and ballot measures can change how changes flow to taxpayers.
The auditor’s office urged residents to check the website once tentative values are posted and to contact the office for review appointments. Staff offered phone and email support for questions and said community outreach and mailed notices will prompt residents to review and, if needed, request reconsideration before values are finalized.
