Summary:
Tentative Property Values in the Mail this Week
Auditor Keith Wants Citizen Input on New Values

Contact: Sam Braun 937-224-8722

Montgomery County Auditor Karl Keith announced today that new tentative property values resulting from this year's countywide reappraisal are in the mail.  Notices of the new values set by the county will be staggered so that they will appear in local mailboxes over the next three weeks.

According to Keith, these notices begin the phase of the reappraisal process that gives property owners an opportunity to have input before values are finalized.  Property owners who disagree with the new value of their property may schedule an informal review with one of the county's appraisers. 

"We certainly want to encourage anyone who disagrees with their value to contact us," Keith said.  "This is a chance for everyone to actively participate in the reappraisal process."

Informal reviews will be held at 17 different locations throughout Montgomery County over the next five weeks.  To schedule an informal review, property owners may call (937) 278-3800 after they receive their notices.

State law requires the county to conduct a countywide reappraisal once every six years.  Montgomery County's last reappraisal was completed in 2002.

Additional information on this year's reappraisal is available on the Auditor's website at www.mcrealestate.org.
