Franklin County Auditor Zoom Question and Answer Session on
Special COVID-19 BOR Filing Period:
Earlier this year, the Ohio General Assembly passed legislation that created a special 30-day filing period from August 3 to September 2, 2021, during which property owners can file a complaint against the 2020 appraised value of their property with the board of revision (BOR) of the county in which the property is located. All BOR complaints submitted during this special filing period must request a change in value that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic or a state COVID-19 order.
To help educate property owners about this BOR COVID-19 complaint-filing opportunity, Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano is holding a series of virtual information sessions to provide information about this process and to answer any questions you may have. These sessions will be held on Thursday, August 19 at 12PM and Wednesday, August 25 at 11:30AM. You can register to attend one or both of them here: https://lnkd.in/dqruyFNU
