County Auditor Seeks State Funds for Property Reappraisal
County Auditor Frank Ayres asks the Ohio Board of Tax Appeals to certify $311,100 for a residential and rural property reappraisal after county commissioners failed to appropriate funds. He argues state law allows certification if local funds are unavailable, noting half of auditor fees are earmarked for appraisal use and a private firm contract is in place.
