Know Your Home Value

2023 Property Reappraisal Guide
Ohio law requires the county auditor to update all property values countywide every three years to reflect recent changes in the marketplace. The 2023 reappraisal involves a visual exterior inspection of each property throughout Trumbull County.
Notice of your tentative values will be made available in the fall 2023. If you disagree with your tentative value, you may participate in a property value review in fall of 2023. All final values will be established in December 2023. The final values, along with your taxing district, could impact your 2024 property taxes.
What is your role in establishing your property value?
Property owners can verify with the Auditor’s Office to provide information in reassessing their proposed values to make sure ALL property information is accurate. By speaking with an appraiser, virtually or in person, throughout the fall of 2023, your engagement will help the office establish the proper valuation.
How is my property value determined?
The 2023 property reappraisal involves a visual inspection of the outside
conditions of a property
relative to other properties in the neighborhood and
other characteristics.
Additional characteristics used to establish property values include:
- Recent home sales in your neighborhood are one of the most significant factors.
- Neighborhood data is an important measure used by appraisers in determining home value.
- Physical characteristics such as age, condition, and home improvements will also affect market value.
Will the reappraisal affect my taxes?
Maybe. The process is not created to increase or decrease taxes; however, it may affect your taxes. The Trumbull County Auditor's Office is statutorily required to carry out the reappraisal and aims to complete the most accurate and fair property assessment possible.
As you may know, taxes are established at the ballot box through your taxing district based on voter approval. Tax district information can be found at: https://www.co.trumbull.oh.us/Auditor/Real-Estate/Tax-Rates

As a result of a reappraisal, tax rates are adjusted to collect the same amount of revenue as was collected the year before on all voted millage. Additional revenue may only be raised with the approval of the voters. The only part of the tax rate which is allowed to rise or fall directly with value is referred to as inside millage and amounts to no more than 10 mills.
- Millage is equal to one dollar for each $1,000 of taxable valuation. In Ohio, property taxes are assessed on 35% of the appraised market value. The value on which taxes are assessed is known as the “taxable” or “assessed value”. For example, one mill levied on a home with a taxable value of $35,000 ($100,000 appraised market value) would generate $35.00 in revenue.
