Fiscal Officer Scalise announces new property value notices to be mailed
Published: July 27, 2026
Akron, Ohio, – Summit County Fiscal Officer Kristen M. Scalise CPA, CFE has announced that the 2026 sexennial reappraisal has concluded and new property value notices will be mailed beginning July 20, 2026.
Ohio law mandates that the Fiscal Office assess all real estate situated in Summit County every six years. By law, each parcel’s value must be set at market value for tax year 2026. Since taxes are paid one year in arrears, value changes from the 2026 sexennial reappraisal will be reflected on tax bills mailed in January 2027.
During a sexennial reappraisal, county appraisers review and evaluate every parcel in the county. Summit County has approximately 262,000 parcels. To determine fair and accurate real property values, county appraisers divide residential properties into appraisal “neighborhoods”. Parcels within these neighborhoods share common characteristics and are affected by similar influences. Appraisers then analyze sales ratio reports from 2025 to determine where values are in relation to sales prices from the year immediately preceding the reappraisal year. Property values are then adjusted within each neighborhood to ensure they reflect current market levels as of January 1, 2026, the effective date of the reappraisal.
Property owners can meet with an appraiser to discuss their new value in one of three ways: virtually (appointment required), by phone, or in-person at a community meeting location. Phone and in-person meetings are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
