Board of Revision

The Franklin County Board of Revision (BOR) hears complaints on the Auditor's appraised value of your property and can adjust the value based on presented evidence.

You can find Board of Revision case documents online for a general search by file date and school district. If you are searching for a specific property, go to our property search, enter the property information, click on BOR Status, and then click View BOR Case Documents.

All BOR hearings are being conducted via Zoom. If you prefer to have your hearing in person, please contact the Board of Revision at least 10 days before your hearing.

When filing your complaint, consider submitting supporting documentation to expedite the process. Some examples of supporting documentation include settlement/closing statements, purchase contracts, and appraisals.

Your case may be chosen for mediation, which is a less formal process that can be an efficient way to resolve your complaint.

Please keep in mind, the BOR hears complaints about property values, not the tax dollars you pay.

If you have any questions, please contact the BOR at (614) 525-3913 or BOR@franklincountyohio.gov.
