Franklin County Auditor

I attended the last mobile filing event on 4/1/24 to contest property taxes. This can be a stressful process for homeowners. Mary (I won't provide last name) was so wonderfully helpful in answering my questions and providing me guidance. I wasn't sure if I could contest with the evidence I had but feel much better that I should at least try - really it was being assured this is not such a scary process. Bonus was her explaining that I only needed to submit the simple form that day, evidence could be submitted later. I was expecting to file online but it was great filing my complaint right then and there and having this task completed for now. Thank you to the well-informed and kind staff.

Unacceptable tax increases
Feb 5th, 2024

I made the call at 11:35 am and I am still holding at 2:11 pm. They told me what my tax increase would be on the new home purchase...for 2024. When I received the bill it is $1400 HIGHER then quoted!!!!! I am CONTESTING but the tard land of Columbus, and all its changes, ( used to be a great place to live) these people do not answer the phone lines.

I'm eager to cast my vote. The drastic property tax hike is unprecedented, and it's unjust. Incremental increases would be reasonable, but nearly doubling it feels like covering a year's apartment rent- urgent action is needed.
