Board of Revision

The Mahoning County Board of Revision is charged with the responsibility of adjudicating complaints as to the assessment of real property within the county.  Taxpayers both residential and commercial can petition the Board of Revision to seek tax relief.  In addition, since public education in the State of Ohio is currently financed by property taxes, local boards of education can file counter-complaints against taxpayer complaints as will as file original complaints for value increases.

The County Auditor, Treasurer and President of the County Commissioners are the statutory members of the Board of Revision.

Among the responsibilities of the Board of Revision are: 
•  To assist citizens in filing complaints.
•  To notify the appropriate parties of the hearings and decisions
•  To arbitrate complaints by a quorum of two.
•  Board decisions can be appealed in appellate courts, which requires the Board of Revisions to prepare court transcripts.
•  The Board of Revision has the duty to submit correction notices to the Auditor’s office when the Board of Revision and court decisions are finalized.
