Q: 12. How will I know if my application has been approved?

If the county auditor approves your application, the county treasurer will notify you by enclosing a notice showing the calculation of your tax reduction with the first tax bill you receive for payment in 2008.

If the county auditor denies your application, you will receive a notice on or before Nov. 1, 2007 informing you of and explaining the reason for the denial.

If you believe your application was improperly denied, you may appeal the auditor’s decision to the county Board of Revision by filing form DTE 106B, Homestead Exemption and 2.5% Reduction Complaint, on or before the deadline for paying the first-half 2007 taxes (in most counties, the due date is in January or February 2008). Owners of manufactured or mobile homes may also appeal the denial of a Homestead Exemption application, but their compliant forms must be filed no later than January 31, 2008.

The complaint form is available from the county auditor or at the Ohio Department of Taxation’s Web site at tax.ohio.gov.
