Board authorizes complaints challenging two commercial property valuations under ORC 5715.19
Summary
The board authorized filing original complaints against the 2024 valuations for two parcels (permanent parcel numbers 605-14-006 and 583-04-031), citing recent arm's-length sales as the basis; legal counsel Fisher Phillips LLP was authorized to file the complaints.
At its March 19 meeting, the Brecksville-Broadview Heights Board authorized the filing of original complaints with the Cuyahoga County Auditor challenging the valuation of two commercial properties for tax year 2024 under Ohio Revised Code Section 5715.19. The board's resolution identifies Parcel 605-14-006 (10147 Brecksville Road) and Parcel 583-04-031 (1123 West Royalton Rd) and cites recent arm's-length sales as the factual basis for seeking valuation adjustments.
The motion to authorize filing the complaints (Resolutions 2025-37 and 2025-38) was made by Tish Kwiatkowski and seconded by Ellen Kramer; roll calls were unanimous. The resolutions direct district legal counsel to proceed with complaint filing and to participate in any Board of Revision or subsequent appeals. The meeting materials include a resolution narrative that lists the sale prices and the district's position that the recent sales better reflect market value than the current county valuations.
The board followed statutory notice procedures in adopting the resolutions and directed counsel to pursue the complaints on behalf of the district. The actions do not change the district tax rate but seek recalculation of assessed values for the specified parcels for tax-year 2024.
