Lorain County Real Estate Valuations Jump 53 Percent
The Ohio Board of Tax Appeals orders a 53 percent average increase in residential real estate valuations in Lorain County for the three year update. Auditor Julian A. Pijor notes taxes may rise less due to complex levy formulas and adjustments. Agricultural lands up 90 percent and industrial and commercial properties up 11.8 percent. Pijor warns against assuming individual bills mirror the valuation change. The reappraisal covers about 25,000 sales from 1976 to 1978 across 92 districts, with Lorain City having 16 districts.
