The Plain Dealer and others have written widely on how the credit crisis and other factors have hurt the local real estate market. Given this difficult situation, if you think the assessed value for your real property tax purposes is too high, I want you to be aware that Ohio law provides a process for you to challenge that value. The Cuyahoga County Board of Revision is charged with the responsibility of dealing with complaints seeking tax relief. Please note, the time period for filing a complaint with the Board of Revision is December 1, 2008 through March 31, 2009.
