Akron, Ohio – Fiscal Officer Kristen M. Scalise CPA, CFE, reminds property owners that the deadline to file a complaint against the valuation of real property is Monday, March 31, 2025.
Property owners who disagree with the county valuation of their real estate have the opportunity to file a complaint with the Board of Revision. When a complaint is filed, the Board of Revision will hold a hearing, consider testimony and/or evidence provided, and issue a decision on whether an adjustment should be made to the property valuation. The board does not hear complaints regarding real estate taxes.
Complaint forms (DTE 1) must be dated, signed, and notarized. Submissions are required by law to be postmarked on or before March 31, 2025. Complaint forms can be hand-delivered Monday through Friday between 7:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. or mailed to the Summit County Board of Revision, 1180 S. Main St., Suite 250, Akron, OH 44301.
