The Auditor's Duties

10 Ways Angela Kinsey Serves Stark County

  • ENSURE THAT PROPERTY VALUES ARE FAIR, EQUITABLE AND REFLECT FAIR MARKET VALUE : The Auditor's office appraises over 195,000 parcels to see that every parcel of land and the building thereon are fairly and uniformly appraised and assessed for tax purposes. A general reappraisal is mandated every six years, with an update at the three year midpoint. The last reappraisal occurred in 2018. 
  • CALCULATE AND CERTIFY REAL ESTATE TAXES AND TAX RATES : Annually, the Auditor prepares the General Tax List upon which the tax bills are derived. The bill is based on the tax rate in effect for the local government where the property is located, multiplied by the property valuation. The Auditor calculates bond and emergency levy rates, and certifies the tax rates to the Ohio Department of Taxation. The Auditor is also required to keep an accounting of special assessments, to include them on the tax duplicate as separate items and to return the collected money to the local government which levied the assessment. These include items such as street paving, sewer or water lines, etc.
