Appealing Your Butler County Ohio Property Tax Bill
There’s a pretty good chance you could be paying more in property taxes than you should be. Let’s say your Butler County property tax bill comes in the mail in January 2016 and you totally disagree with the valuation that has been given to your home. What can you do?
You can appeal your property tax value, by presenting a case to the county review board and try to get the value changed. When you appeal your property tax bill one of three things can happen:
1. You get a decrease in your tax valuation, which results in a decrease in your property taxes.
2. The value is found to be accurate and does not change – your taxes stay the same too.
3. Your property tax valuation increases as a result of your hearing, which results in an increase in your property taxes.
So, why would you appeal? The only reason to appeal your property tax bill is to prove that the Butler County Auditor’s value exceeds the market value. It is important to note here that the value indicated on your tax bill will be the value as established on January 1st, 2015. You are going to be trying to prove a revised value for January 1st, 2015. You are not trying to establish what today’s market value of your home is. A well researched appeal can significantly lower your property taxes.
**Important note: The deadline each year to file an appeal of your Butler County Ohio property tax bill is March 31st at 5:00PM, which falls on a Thursday this year. Appeals submitted after this time will be dismissed.
