Questions, answered plainly
Do I need a lawyer?
No. Homeowners can file their own valuation complaints with the Franklin County Board of Revision. We provide information and a do-it-yourself packet, not legal advice.
What if my value looks fair?
We'll tell you plainly. If the county's appraised value is in line with similar sales, we don't recommend buying a packet.
Is this a government service?
No. NeighborComp Ohio is a private educational service, independent of the Franklin County Auditor and Board of Revision.
When can I file?
The Board of Revision filing season is expected to reopen in November 2026, with a March 31, 2027 complaint deadline for tax year 2026. Always confirm current dates with the county.
