Real estate valuation and tax information

The Hamilton County Auditor's Office is responsible for valuing property at fair market value under Ohio's valuation cycle. Hamilton County's last reappraisal was in 2023, followed by the 2026 triennial update and the 2029 reappraisal.

For the 2023 reappraisal, more than 350,000 parcels were viewed. Property characteristics were checked, and new values were posted in December 2023 for use on January 2024 tax bills.

Property taxes are based partly on property value, but a change in value does not create a matching dollar-for-dollar tax change. Voted levies, reduction factors, new construction, and voter-approved tax increases can also affect the tax bill. The Auditor's Real Estate Valuation page explains the county valuation process.

Tax rates, levies, and reports

The Auditor's real estate tax information explains that Ohio real property tax is based on value and that local tax rates vary by taxing jurisdiction. A parcel's total tax rate can include levies from school districts, counties, municipalities, townships, and special service districts.

The Auditor's Real Estate Tax page includes tax reports, millage calculation instructions, annual residential and commercial cost information, tax levy summaries, rates of taxation, settlement distribution, apportionment sheets, and value reports.
