Search Parcels, Values & Maps
Search Perry County property records by owner, address or parcel number, then use the detailed record to review appraised value, acreage, legal information, buildings, sales, tax history, payments and tax distributions.
This guide also explains the 2026 Triennial Update, advanced sales filters, approximate GIS boundaries, current tax deadlines, Recorder limitations, property-value complaints and the forms used for Homestead, owner occupancy, CAUV and transfers.
Quick answer: use the official Auditor search first
Open the Perry County Auditor search, enter one owner surname, simplified address or parcel number, open the matching parcel, and save its parcel number. Use that identifier for the GIS map, Treasurer payment search, Recorder index, forms and Board of Revision.
Ten quick Perry County property facts
Once you have one reliable search value, use the official Auditor search. Start with the simple search before opening Advanced Search because an incorrect extra field can exclude the correct parcel.
Choose the property task you need
The guide is organized around real actions rather than a directory of unexplained links.
Which Perry County office handles your question?
Use the Auditor to identify and understand the parcel. Use the Treasurer to pay taxes, the Recorder to research recorded documents and the Board of Revision to challenge a value.

Understand the 2026 Triennial Update
Perry County’s tentative 2026 Triennial Update values have been approved for public review. The updated values reflect changes in the local real-estate market and affect taxes payable in 2027—not the current 2026 collection.
Estimates tax year 2025 property taxes due and payable in 2026.
Represents the current three-year market update.
The 2026 updated value affects taxes payable during 2027.
Why values can change without a property visit
Ohio requires a full countywide reappraisal every six years and a market update at the three-year midpoint. The three-year update uses market and valid-sales analysis rather than a complete physical reinspection of every property.

How to review a tentative value now
Use the Perry County parcel map correctly
- Locating rural tracts
- Viewing adjoining parcels
- Checking road relationships
- Finding a likely parent parcel
- Preparing a survey or deed question
- Exact corner locations
- Legal ownership
- Mineral ownership
- Access or easement rights
- Whether construction is permitted
After saving the parcel number and understanding these limits, open the official parcel map.
Find valid sales and comparable properties
Perry County publishes weekly valid-sale lists and provides Advanced Search filters for sale dates, prices, buyers, sellers, districts, acreage and residential characteristics.
Build a useful comparable-sales set
- Township or village
- School or tax district
- Neighbourhood
- Road and market setting
- Residential, agricultural or other class
- Acreage
- Year built
- Living area and condition
- Recent sale date
- Valid market sale
- No family or gift transfer
- No major financing distortion
Do not use these as automatic comparables
Use the valid-sales lists after deciding the appropriate date range. Open individual parcel records to compare physical facts.
Check the current bill, deadline and tax estimate
Confirm the live balance before paying.

Perry County property search FAQs
How do I search Perry County property records?
Use the official Perry County Auditor search. Begin with one owner surname, a simplified street address or the parcel number. Open the matching parcel and verify both its location and parcel number.
Can I search Perry County property by owner name?
Yes. Enter the owner name in last-name-first format. Start with the surname only, then add a first name when the results are too broad.
Why is a Perry County property not appearing by address?
The address may be formatted differently, recently assigned or associated with a rural route. Remove directions, street suffixes and punctuation, then try the parcel map or previous owner.
What information appears in a Perry County parcel record?
A detailed parcel record may include ownership, mailing address, appraised value, deeded acreage, valuation history, legal information, buildings, improvements, land, agricultural data, sales, taxes, payments and tax distributions.
What is the Perry County 2026 Triennial Update?
The 2026 Triennial Update is Perry County’s three-year market update between full reappraisals. Tentative 2026 values reflect market changes and will affect property taxes payable in 2027.
Are Perry County GIS parcel lines legally exact?
No. The county states that GIS boundaries are approximate and maintained for tax purposes. The deed is the legal boundary document, and exact lines should be verified by a licensed surveyor.
When are Perry County second-half property taxes due in 2026?
The Perry County Treasurer lists August 14, 2026 as the second-half property-tax deadline. A 5 percent penalty applies during the first 10 days after the deadline, followed by a 10 percent penalty.
How do I find a Perry County deed or mortgage?
Use the Recorder’s AVA index to obtain volume and page information. The county states that actual document images are not online, so contact or visit the Recorder to obtain copies and current fee information.
How do I challenge a Perry County property value?
File the correct Board of Revision complaint between January 1 and March 31. Include the owner, property address, parcel numbers, requested value and property-specific evidence. There is no filing fee.
Who should I call about Perry County property taxes?
Call the Treasurer at 740-342-1235 for payment, delinquency and balance questions. Call the Auditor at 740-342-2074 for parcel records, property values, tax calculations, forms, Homestead, CAUV and Board of Revision questions.

10 Ohio Property Tax Calculators & Auditor Tools
Built specifically for Ohio's 35% assessment ratio, current DTE forms, and 2026 Homestead, Owner-Occupancy, CAUV, Conveyance Fee, and Board of Revision rules. Every number reflects verified Ohio Department of Taxation amounts.
Annual Tax Bill Estimator
OHIOApplies Ohio's 35% assessment ratio plus your county's effective millage tier — the actual math your auditor uses.
Homestead Reduction Calculator
DTE 105A2026 Ohio Homestead: $29,000 general or $58,000 enhanced (100% disabled vet, KIA spouse). OAGI under $41,000 required for non-veteran applicants.
Owner-Occupancy & Non-Business Credits
DTE 105CEvery Ohio owner-occupied home qualifies for the 2.5% Owner-Occupancy Credit plus the automatic 10% Non-Business Credit. Most owners don't realize these stack.
Conveyance Fee Calculator
ORC 322When you sell or transfer Ohio property, the auditor collects $1 state + up to $3 county per $1,000, plus $0.50 per parcel. Counties choose their rate.
CAUV Agricultural Savings
DTE 109Ohio's Current Agricultural Use Value cuts taxable value dramatically for farmland (10+ acres, or smaller with $2,500+ annual gross income).
Mill Rate Converter
Ohio tax rates appear three ways on auditor sites: mills, percent, or dollars per $1,000. Convert between them instantly.
Parcel Number Cleaner
Ohio's 88 counties each format parcels differently — Franklin uses 010-123456-00, Cuyahoga uses 001-23-456, Hamilton uses 100-0001-0001-00. Auto-detects.
35% Ratio Sanity Check
Ohio law sets taxable value at 35% of market value. If yours is significantly higher, you're a strong BOR appeal candidate.
BOR Appeal Savings
DTE 1A successful Board of Revision complaint typically cuts your value 10–20%. Filing is free and stays in effect until the next reappraisal.
BOR Deadline Countdown
MAR 31Ohio's statutory Board of Revision filing deadline is March 31 for the prior tax year. Miss it and you wait until next year — no extensions.
Verify with the official Ohio source
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.
