Clinton County Auditor Terence G. Habermehl has announced that new, tentative real estate values established for the state-ordered 2026 triennial update of real property are now available for review. Property owners can review their new values on the Auditor’s website at https://clintoncountyauditor.org/ or by contacting the Auditor’s office.
Ohio law requires a revaluation every six years, with a triennial update three years later. The 2026 update reflects real estate sales that occurred over the previous three-year period and is intended to ensure fair and equitable property values based on current market conditions.
The new property values will be effective January 1, 2026. Because property taxes are paid one year in arrears, tax bills payable in calendar year 2027 will be based on these updated values. The State will not certify new tax rates until later in the year, so tax amounts cannot be estimated at this time.
To assist property owners, the Auditor’s Office is offering informal value review meetings. These meetings provide an opportunity for taxpayers to ask questions and review their property data before values are finalized.
Meeting times are available as follows:
• June 24: 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
• June 25: 4:00 PM – 7:00 PM
• June 26: 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Appointments are required. Property owners may schedule an appointment by:
• Emailing: auditor@clintoncountyohio.us
• Calling the office at (937) 382-2250
• In person
Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM.
Property owners are encouraged to take advantage of this free review process before seeking outside services. Be cautious of companies that promise guaranteed reductions in property values or taxes. No one can guarantee a decrease, and such claims may be misleading.
If a property owner still disagrees with their value after the informal review, Ohio law provides a formal appeal process through the Board of Revision (BOR). Complaints may be filed between January 1, 2027 and March 31, 2027, at no cost. Each case is reviewed based on the evidence presented, and values may increase, decrease, or remain the same.
For more information, to review property data, or to schedule an appointment, please contact the Clinton County Auditor’s Office.
