Akron, Ohio, May 18, 2020 – Summit County Fiscal Officer Kristen M. Scalise CPA, CFE has announced that county appraisers are ahead of schedule performing new construction evaluations. Beginning Monday, May 18, 2020, they will move into the communities of Cuyahoga Falls, Silver Lake, Munroe Falls, Stow, and Tallmadge.

During the evaluations, appraisers will physically visit and assign values to all newly constructed and altered property in Summit County. The project began on May 11, 2020 in the northern part of the county and will move south, concluding in the City of Green in July.

Fiscal Officer Scalise has stated that it is important for residents to be aware that appraisers are in their community. Appraisers can be easily identified by their identification badge, yellow safety vest printed with the county name, and a car marked with the official placard of the Fiscal Office. They will not enter homes or other structures. Site visits will be conducted on weekdays from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.

In accordance with COVID-19 guidelines, county appraisers will practice safe social distancing and be equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE). When visiting a property, the appraisers will knock on the front door to inform the property owner that they are performing an evaluation. Property owners do not need to answer the door, unless they would like to speak with the appraiser. During all in-person conversations, appraisers have been instructed to stand at least 6 feet from the other person. If no one is home during their evaluation, the appraisers will leave a door hanger to notify owners of their visit.
