Coshocton County Overview
Coshocton County Property Assessments
The Coshocton County Auditor values all real property under ORC Chapter 319. Each parcel gets a market value based on comparable sales, property condition, and land characteristics. Homes in the city of Coshocton are valued differently than rural farms or woodland parcels. The auditor's job is to make sure every property is assessed fairly.
Ohio requires reappraisals every six years with triennial updates in between. During a reappraisal under ORC Chapter 5713, the auditor's staff reviews each property. They may visit the site, check building records, and compare sales in the area. The triennial update uses sales data and market trends without individual property visits. Assessed value is 35% of whatever market value the auditor sets. That is the basis for your tax bill.
Note: Coshocton County's Appalachian terrain can affect property values, with hilltop and valley parcels sometimes showing different price trends.
