REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENT
Licking County has more than 73,000 separate parcels of Real Property. It is the duty of the County Auditor's Office to assure that every parcel of land and the buildings thereon are fairly and uniformly appraised and then assessed for tax purposes.
A general reappraisal of all Real Property is mandated by Ohio Law every six (6) years with an update during the third year after the appraisal.
A detailed record of the appraisal of each parcel (Property Record Card) in the County is maintained in the County Auditor's Office and is available for public inspection.
REAL ESTATE TAX DUPLICATES
Preparation of the General Tax List and Duplicate
Under Ohio Law, the County Auditor cannot and does not raise or lower property taxes. Tax rates are determined by the budgetary requests of each unit of government, as authorized by vote of the people, and are computed in strict accordance with the procedures required by the State Department of Taxation.
Ohio Law limits the amount of taxation with out voter approval to what is known as the "10 mill limitation" ($10.00 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. All additional tax levies on real estate for any purpose must be voted upon.Your "tax rate" is an accumulation of all these levies and bond issues. Annually, the Auditor prepares the General Tax List and Duplicate.
The tax bill represents the proportionate share of the cost of operating your local government including Schools, Townships, Villages, the County, etc. Continue on the Tour
