COLUMBUS, Ohio --
A pair of ‘mobile offices’ will assist county residents file Board of Revision applications before the deadline on Thursday, March 31.
Franklin County property owners who feel their property value is too high may file a request to lower the value with the Board of Revision.
“We are aware that interest in the Board of Revision filing process is at an all-time high,” Franklin County Auditor Clarence Mingo said. “It is now more important than ever that we educate and familiarize Franklin County home and business owners to this property tax reduction opportunity.”
There are expected to be more than the record amount of 8,101 requests for property revaluations that were filed just this past year.
Prior to the deadline in 2009, 6,741 were filed.
Staff from the Franklin County Auditor’s Office will help county residents fill out Board of Revision applications on Tuesday, March 1 beginning at 12:30 p.m. at the Evans Senior Center, located at 4330 Dudley Ave in Grove City.
Residents looking for assistance in the application process also can visit the mobile office on Saturday, March 5 at 950 E. Main St. in Columbus.
Staff will be there starting at 10 a.m.
The Franklin County Board of Revision hears formal complaints on property valuations.
Filing a complaint allows property owners to present their case before the Board of Revision, which is comprised of representatives of the County Auditor, Treasurer and Commissioner.
Board of Revision applications will be accepted until March 31 at 5 p.m.

Property owners can submit requests in person, through the mail or via fax at (614) 525-6252.
In the event a property owner is successful in reducing their property value, a refund of any overpayment of taxes collected based on the higher value will be refunded or credited to their upcoming tax bill.
