What is the Ohio property tax assessment ratio?

Ohio law sets taxable value at 35% of market (true) value statewide, under Ohio Revised Code §5713.03. Your county auditor must use this ratio when calculating your tax bill.

How much is the Ohio Homestead Reduction in 2026?

For tax year 2026, the general Homestead Reduction shields $29,000 of market value for qualifying owners age 65+, totally disabled, or surviving spouses age 59+ with Ohio Adjusted Gross Income under $41,000. The enhanced amount for 100% disabled veterans and surviving spouses of public-safety officers killed in the line of duty is $58,000 with no income limit. File DTE Form 105A with your county auditor.

When is the Ohio Board of Revision deadline?

Ohio's statutory Board of Revision (BOR) complaint deadline is March 31 for the prior tax year, per ORC §5715.19. Complaints are filed using DTE Form 1 with your county auditor at no cost. Late filings are rejected except in very narrow clerical-error circumstances.

How much is the Ohio real property conveyance fee?

Ohio's conveyance fee has two parts: a mandatory $1.00 per $1,000 state fee (ORC §319.54(F)(3)) and a permissive county levy of up to $3.00 per $1,000 (ORC §322.02). Most Ohio counties charge the full $4.00 per $1,000. A separate $0.50 transfer fee applies per parcel. Filed using DTE Form 100 at the auditor's office at closing.

Who qualifies for Ohio's CAUV agricultural tax break?

Ohio's Current Agricultural Use Value (CAUV) program lets actively farmed land be taxed on its agricultural value rather than its market value. Eligibility requires 10+ acres devoted exclusively to commercial agriculture, or smaller parcels with $2,500+ in gross annual income from agriculture. Apply using DTE Form 109 and renew annually with DTE 109A. Removing land from CAUV triggers recoupment of three years of saved taxes under ORC §5713.34.

Owner, parcel, address, value or buildings	Auditor Search	Property record, values, land, improvements, sales, taxes and map access.	Owner display is not a recorded deed or title opinion.
Actual bill, payment, receipt or missing bill	Treasurer	Search and payment, due dates, receipts, penalties and PrePay.	The Auditor does not collect or post payments.

Parcel map or nearby-property context	Auditor Map / GIS	Parcel-location research and downloadable geographic data.	Online boundaries are not a professional survey.
Legal-description review or transfer map approval	Tax Maps	Legal-description and transfer-map review before conveyance.	County staff cannot draft a deed for you.

Best workflow: Find the parcel in the Auditor system, save the parcel number, print or save the complete record, and use that same identifier for tax, deed, GIS, transfer and appeal questions.

Basic lookup workflow

Search by owner, parcel number or address

Start with a single clean search field. Entering too much information can hide the correct parcel when one part of the name or address is recorded differently.

Owner-name search

Enter the owner in Last First order.
Try the last name alone first.
Remove commas, middle initials and suffixes when no result appears.
For a trust, LLC or estate, use one distinctive word.
Verify the property address before opening the record.

Format: SMITH JOHN

Parcel-number search

Copy the number from a bill, deed or prior property record.
Enter every letter, number and separator shown.
Check zero versus the letter O.
Use the matching address to confirm the result.
Save the number for every later county task.

Example pattern: 045-05A-01-003

Address search

Enter the house number.
Add the main street name.
Leave direction and street type blank initially.
Add N, S, E, W, RD, ST or DR only when necessary.
Switch to parcel or map search when a rural address fails.

Start with: 144 BROADWAY

Open the correct parcel record

Use one search method Do not fill the owner, parcel and address sections at the same time.

Review all plausible matches Compare parcel number, street, owner, township, municipality and school district.

Open the complete record Do not rely only on the short search-result row.

Confirm the location section Check parcel, physical address, municipality, township and school district.

Review values and taxes Compare the 2025 appraised and assessed values, credits, tax amounts and balances.

Print or save the record Use the official print option to preserve property, tax, sales and building details together.

Manufactured-home search

The basic search also includes Registration Number, Park Name and Lot Number fields for manufactured or mobile homes.

You know the registration number Enter it directly and confirm the park and lot information.

You know the park but not the number Select the park and add the lot number when available.

The home is on private land Try the private-land option and compare owner and location details.

No mobile-home result appears Call the Auditor with the registration, serial, owner, park and lot information.

Open official property search Open Auditor parcel map

High-value research filters

Use advanced search when a basic search is too broad

Advanced search can identify groups of properties without requiring an exact owner or parcel number.

Medina County advanced property-search filters
Filter group	Available fields	Practical use
Sales	Sale date, price range, buyer, seller and valid-sale status.	Find recent sales or screen possible comparable properties.
Location	Tax district, township, municipality, school district and neighborhood.	Separate similar addresses or compare properties in the same market area.
Land	Property class and acreage range.	Find agricultural, vacant, commercial or similarly sized land.
Residential	Year built, living area, bedrooms, full baths and half baths.	Create a more defensible comparable-sale group.

Advanced comparable-sale workflow

Select a reasonable sale period Use transactions close to the relevant valuation date.

Choose the correct location Start with the same municipality, township, school district or neighborhood.

Match property class and acreage Avoid comparing an agricultural, vacant or commercial parcel with an ordinary home.

Add residential characteristics Narrow by living area, year built, bedrooms and baths.

Select valid sales Exclude transfers that are not normal open-market transactions.

Open each parcel record Check condition, improvements, sale history and physical differences before relying on it.

Local research tip: A property with the same ZIP code may be in a different township, school district, municipality or neighborhood. Use the county’s location filters before treating it as a strong comparable.

Troubleshooting order

No Medina County property result found?

Owner search failed Use only the surname or one distinctive LLC, trust, estate or business word.

Address search failed Remove direction, street type, unit number, punctuation and ZIP code.

Parcel number failed Check every letter, dash and zero against the bill or deed.

The property recently sold Search the seller or former owner and check Recorder documents.

The parcel was divided Use the map to inspect nearby replacement parcels and call the Auditor.

The parcel was combined Search adjoining owner names or the new combined parcel number.

It is a manufactured home Use registration number, park and lot rather than the ordinary real-estate fields.

The mailing city is misleading Verify the physical county, township and map location instead of relying on the postal city alone.

Understand the Medina County property card

Important parcel fields and what they mean
Field	Meaning	What to do next
Parcel number	The primary county identifier assigned to the property.	Use it for taxes, deeds, maps, forms and office questions.
Owner	The owner name currently shown in the Auditor system.	Use the recorded deed when legal ownership proof is needed.
Deeded owner address	The mailing address associated with the deeded owner.	Do not confuse it with the physical property address.
Taxpayer address	The address used for tax-billing correspondence.	Contact the Treasurer when billing information is wrong.
Appraised value	The Auditor’s estimate of 100% market value.	Review property facts and valid sales before disputing it.
Assessed value	Generally 35% of the appraised value in Ohio.	Tax rates and applicable reductions are applied to this value.
CAUV value	Agricultural-use value shown for enrolled qualifying land.	Confirm annual renewal and possible recoupment before a transfer.
Rollback or credit	Applicable owner-occupancy, Homestead or other reduction.	Contact the Auditor when an expected credit is missing.
First and second half	The property’s semiannual tax installments.	Verify the issued bill and due date through the Treasurer.
Year total and balance	Total annual tax and remaining unpaid balance.	Review payments, penalties and special assessments.
Recent sales	Buyer, seller, date, price, parcel count and validity information.	Do not use a zero-price or invalid transfer as a normal comparable.
Residential or commercial details	Building age, area, rooms, condition, improvements and other characteristics.	Document incorrect facts before requesting a value review.

2025 reappraisal context

Separate property value from the tax bill

Medina County parcel records now display 2025 appraised and assessed values. The 2025 Tax Estimator is specifically designed to estimate 2025 property taxes due and payable in 2026.

Appraised value

The full 100% property-value estimate assigned to land and improvements.

Assessed value

Generally 35% of appraised value and the starting taxable-value figure.

Why a value increase does not equal the same tax increase

Tax district and effective rates differ

Reduction factors may apply

Owner-occupancy credit may apply

Homestead reduction may apply

CAUV may change agricultural land value

Special assessments are separate

New levies can affect the final bill

HB 186 credits may affect eligible parcels

Do not calculate the final bill by applying one countywide percentage to market value. Use the parcel’s tax district, property type, credits and issued Treasurer bill.

When the property record appears wrong

Confirm the parcel Verify parcel number, address, municipality, township and school district.

Identify the factual error Note incorrect acreage, building area, age, condition, use or improvement information.

Collect evidence Prepare photographs, measurements, permits, demolition records, estimates or an appraisal.

Contact the Auditor Ask whether staff can correct a factual record or whether a formal complaint is required.

Use the correct appeal path DTE 1 is for full market value; DTE 2 is for another eligible assessment complaint.

Reason for delay HB 186 credits

Not receiving a bill does not remove liability.

Do not publish or rely on a guessed second-half deadline. The Auditor’s official notice says the Auditor, Treasurer and CAMA provider are implementing HB 186 credits for 2025-pay-2026 bills, causing delayed calculation and mailing. Check the Treasurer’s live site or call before using any date.

Ten practical answers

Medina County property search FAQs

What is the official Medina County Auditor property search?

Use the official Medina County Auditor Search at auditor.medinacounty.gov/Search. It supports owner, parcel, address, manufactured-home and advanced property searches.

How do I search Medina County property by owner name?

Enter the owner in Last First order. Begin with the surname or a distinctive business, trust or estate word and add more information only when the result list is too broad.

How do I search Medina County property by address?

Start with the house number and main street name. Add the directional abbreviation and street-type abbreviation only when the broad search does not locate the correct property.

Can I search Medina County manufactured-home records?

Yes. The Auditor search includes fields for registration number, mobile-home park and lot number.

When were Medina County first-half property taxes due in 2026?

First-half 2025 real-estate taxes payable in 2026 were due February 27, 2026. Check the Treasurer website for the final second-half deadline because HB 186 credit implementation delayed bill calculation and mailing.

Is the Medina County tax estimator the same as the final tax bill?

No. The Auditor tax estimator provides an estimate of 2025 property taxes payable in 2026. The Treasurer account and issued bill control the actual amount due and payment status.

Are Medina County online parcel lines legally exact?

No. Medina County distributes GIS information as-is and does not guarantee its accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose. Use recorded deeds, plats and a professional survey when an exact boundary matters.

Where can I find a Medina County deed or mortgage?

Use the Medina County Recorder Document Search for deeds, mortgages, liens, easements, releases and other recorded land documents. Call 330-725-9782 for search assistance.

How do I challenge a Medina County property value?

Use DTE Form 1 for a full-market-value complaint or DTE Form 2 for another eligible assessment complaint. The ordinary 2026 Board of Revision filing deadline was March 31, 2026.

What are the Medina County Auditor phone number and address?

The Medina County Auditor phone number is 330-725-9754. The office is on the third floor of the Administration Building at 144 North Broadway, Medina, Ohio 44256 and is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Details checked July 20, 2026: Search fields, advanced filters, property-card content, 2025 tax estimator, HB 186 billing notice, first-half deadline, payment fees, office contacts, GIS disclaimer, Sales and Delinquency reports, Recorder fees, conveyance rate, transfer order, BOR deadline and Auditor forms were reviewed using official Medina County sources.

These calculators use the verified 2026 Ohio Department of Taxation amounts and statutory rules. For your exact bill, exemption status, and county-specific deadlines, always confirm with your county auditor and the Ohio Revised Code:

Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments. The 2026 Homestead general amount ($29,000) and enhanced amount ($58,000) reflect HB 187 inflation indexing — your county auditor's office may show slightly different transitional figures.
