As property tax concerns reach new heights alongside rapidly rising home valuations, Auditor Stinziano brings much-needed clarity on what his office does—and doesn’t do—when it comes to taxes.

Recent (and Upcoming) Legislative Changes: Four new property tax relief bills have been passed, mainly increasing the owner-occupied tax credit.

Resources to Prepare and Appeal: Franklin County’s \"Know Your Home Value\" website is a one-stop shop for homeowners to preview tentative values, review comparable sales, and estimate the impact of new levies.
