TINA M. HUEBNER
Muskingum County Auditor | Muskingum County, Ohio
The County Auditors Association of Ohio (CAAO), in conjunction with the Governor’s property tax reform group, have worked with Ohio lawmakers to develop and support the passage of key legislation to help Ohio property taxpayers. These newly passed House Bills aim to provide immediate relief to homeowners as well as limiting the future growth of taxes when property values change.
The Ohio Department of Taxation has realigned the state’s property tax reappraisal and triennial update schedule for sixteen counties, one of which is Muskingum County. The realignment decisions were made to balance the number of counties performing a reappraisal in a given tax year.
Ohio law requires all counties to perform a full revaluation of properties every six years and a triennial update every three years. The Ohio Tax Commissioner, through statutory authority, can grant a one-year extension for reappraisals, which allows for the realignment of the schedule.
Muskingum County is still set to conduct its next triennial update as originally scheduled in 2027. With the recent realignment in place, Muskingum County’s next full revaluation will now take place in 2031, rather than 2030.
The Muskingum County Auditor’s Office will be closed in observation of the holidays approved by the Muskingum County Commissioner’s Office. Please click here for a complete listing of the holiday schedule.
Due to a clerical error, some properties in Muskingum County subject to the annual MWCD Maintenance Assessment were inadvertently overcharged for the 2024 Muskingum Watershed annual assessment on their real estate tax bill. This error primarily affected tax exempt properties that are identified with a Land Use Code of “Other-Commercial”. The error has been corrected and refund checks have been mailed to parties who overpaid.
If you have any questions regarding this refund, or need any further information, please call the Woolpert office at 720-279-3772 or email yaneev.golombek@woolpert.com.
The Muskingum County Budget Commission will be meeting on a bi-weekly basis through the 2026 calendar year. Click here for more information.
