Not an official website
Official property records, values, tax amounts, forms, applications and payments are available only from the relevant government offices, including the Franklin County Auditor at auditor.franklincountyohio.gov and the Franklin County Treasurer at treasurer.franklincountyohio.gov. Nothing on this site creates, changes or replaces an official record.
Accuracy
We check facts against official sources and date each page, as described in our editorial policy. However, laws, rates, fees, deadlines, hours and websites change, sometimes without notice, and errors can happen. Information is provided “as is,” without warranty of any kind. Always confirm with the official office before you rely on any information, especially deadlines and dollar amounts.
Information that changes most often
Take extra care to confirm these with the official office before acting:
- income limits and deadlines on the Homestead Exemption and owner occupancy credit pages;
- filing windows on the Board of Revision page;
- yearly rates on the tax rates page and due dates on the tax bill page;
- fees on the dog license page;
- sale dates and terms on the forfeited land sale page;
- phone numbers and hours on the office contacts page.
No legal, tax or financial advice

For decisions about your situation, such as filing a complaint, transferring property or buying forfeited land, consult a qualified professional or the responsible government office.
External links
We link to official government websites and other sources for convenience and verification. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, availability or privacy practices.
