Home damaged? Get a tax break
As residents have howled over a recently completed tax reappraisal of property values across Butler County, it looks like Mother Nature has something to say as well.
Butler County Auditor Roger Reynolds said Thursday that residents can request a re-appraisal of their home if it was damaged in Sunday’s windstorm. Extensive damage to the home or property can lower a homes assessed value, which would lower the homeowner’s taxes.
So what qualifies? “Pretty much anything that affects the value of your property,” Reynolds said. Here’s the details:
Before any consideration of value can be determined for future tax bills, a form — officially called a DTE Form 26 — must be completed, notarized and returned to the Butler County Auditor’s Office, 130 High Street, Hamilton, Ohio 45011. Applicable residents could receive up to a 50 percent reduction on their January tax bill, Reynolds said.
