Summit County Fiscal Officer Kristen M. Scalise CPA, CFE reminds taxpayers that the deadline to file a complaint against the valuation of real property is Friday, March 31, 2017.
Taxpayers who do not agree with the valuation of their property have the opportunity to file a complaint with the Board of Revision for review of property values. When a complaint is filed, the Board of Revision will schedule a hearing, review testimony, and issue a decision on whether a correction should be made to the valuation. The board does not hear complaints regarding real estate taxes.
Complaint forms (DTE 1) must be dated, signed, notarized, and received or postmarked by March 31, 2017. Submissions can be made in-person or by mail to Summit County Fiscal Office, 175 S. Main Street, Room 302, Akron, Ohio 44308 or to our satellite office at Summit County Board of Revision, 1180 S. Main St., Suite 250, Akron, Ohio 44301.
