Akron, Ohio, March 18, 2024 – Summit County Fiscal Officer Kristen M. Scalise CPA, CFE reminds taxpayers that the deadline to file a complaint against the valuation of real property is Monday, April 1, 2024.
Property owners who do not agree with the County valuation of their property have the opportunity to file a complaint with the Board of Revision for review of property values. 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 April 1, 2024. Complaint forms can be hand-delivered Monday through Friday between 7:30 am and 4:00 pm or mailed to the Summit County Board of Revision, 1180 S. Main St., Suite 250, Akron, OH 44301. To obtain a complaint form (DTE 1), please call 330-926-2559 or visit our website at http://fiscaloffice.summitoh.net.
In addition, complaint forms (DTE1) may also be submitted electronically at http://fiscaloffice.summitoh.net. The online filing system (Smartfile) can be accessed at any time of day and ensures accurate records by eliminating the hand-written application. Upon submission, users will receive confirmation that their complaint was received by the Board of Revision. Electronic submissions are not subject to the notary requirement but must be submitted by April 1, 2024.
The Board of Revision members consists of the Fiscal Officer, the County Executive, the County Clerk of Courts, and/or their representatives.
