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.

Office-routing guide

Which Scott County office controls the property record?

Correct office for each Scott County property task
What you need	Correct office or tool	What it provides	Important limit
Owner, parcel, legal description or transfer history	Auditor / Platroom	Parcel ownership transfer records, plat maps, transfer books and legal-description research.	Does not prepare a deed or guarantee title.
Market value or building assessment	County Assessor	Assessment, classification, appraisal data and protests outside Davenport.	Does not collect property taxes.
Assessment for property inside Davenport	Davenport City Assessor	Assessment, credits, review and protest help for Davenport parcels.	Scott County Assessor cannot change a Davenport assessment.
Tax statement, payment or delinquency	Treasurer	Tax bills, payments, receipts, penalties, special assessments and tax sale.	Does not determine market value.
Deed, mortgage, lien, easement or survey	Recorder	Recorded land documents, images, copies and fraud alerts.	Online records are not the official title opinion.
Parcel map, aerial or printable map	Beacon / GIS	Parcel context, aerial photography, roads, layers and map printing.	Mapped lines are not a boundary survey.
Official zoning or buildability	Planning & Development	Zoning, subdivision, floodplain and building guidance for applicable county jurisdictions.	An assessment classification is not zoning approval.

Fastest workflow: Find the parcel number first. Give that number to every office so staff can distinguish the correct tract, assessment, tax account and recorded document.

Owner, address and parcel lookup

Search Scott County property records correctly

Search by owner

Enter the last name first.
Add the first name only when results are broad.
Remove punctuation and suffixes if nothing appears.
Try trust, estate, business or contract-holder names.
Try the prior owner after a recent transfer.

Example: ANDERSON

Search by address

Enter the house number.
Add the main street word.
Remove direction and street suffix initially.
Leave out apartment or unit information.
Use the map for rural land without a site address.

Example: 600 FOURTH

Search by parcel

Copy the number from a tax statement or deed.
Enter the full identifier.
Remove spaces or separators if necessary.
Check zeros and repeated digits carefully.
Verify the site address after opening the result.

Best choice for exact matching

Open and verify the property report

Start with one search field Do not combine owner, address and parcel information on the first attempt.

Gross assessed value	Assessor value before listed exemptions.	Verify land, building and dwelling components.
Net assessed value	Assessed value after applicable exempt value.	Do not assume this equals taxable value.
Taxable value	Value used in the tax calculation after Iowa adjustments and exemptions.	Compare the correct payable fiscal year.

GIS, Platroom and zoning

Use parcel maps without treating them as surveys

Beacon combines parcel records with GIS layers such as parcels, aerial photography and roads. Users can create and download maps, but the county warns that the data is intended for illustration and may not be suitable for every decision.

Map workflow

Copy the parcel number Start from the property report rather than searching by an uncertain rural address.

Open the map Select the parcel and zoom closely enough for relevant layers to appear.

Compare aerial and parcel information Check roads, buildings, neighboring parcels and available imagery.

Use the print tool Add a title, legend, scale bar and north arrow when creating a research map.

Check Plats and Surveys Move to the Recorder or Platroom when legal documents are needed.

Verify zoning separately Use Planning & Development for unincorporated county zoning and buildability.

Map question versus authoritative source
Question	Useful starting tool	Final verification
Where is the parcel?	Beacon parcel map	Parcel ID, site address and recorded documents.
Who owned it previously?	Limited transfer history	Platroom transfer books and Recorder indexes.
Where is the exact boundary?	Parcel map, plat and corner information	Professional boundary survey.

Time-of-transfer inspection: When a home or building served by a private sewage-disposal system is sold or transferred, Iowa law generally requires inspection by a certified inspector before the transfer. Temporary physical conditions can require a binding acknowledgement for a future inspection.

Confirm whether the property has private sewage disposal Do not wait until recording day to investigate the system.

Arrange the certified inspection Use a qualified inspector and obtain the required report.

Complete the Groundwater Hazard requirement Use the statement or permitted deed language based on the property conditions.

Complete transfer-value documents Use the current 2026 Declaration of Value instructions and Sales Condition Reporting form.

Ten practical answers

Scott County property search FAQs

Where can I search Scott County Iowa property records?

Use the official Scott County Iowa Parcel Search powered by Beacon. The system combines property information from the Auditor, Recorder, Treasurer, Scott County Assessor and Davenport City Assessor and is generally updated nightly.

Does the Scott County Assessor handle Davenport properties?

No. The Scott County Assessor handles property outside the City of Davenport. Properties inside Davenport are assessed by the Davenport City Assessor, although both jurisdictions appear in the countywide Beacon parcel search.

How do I search by owner, address or parcel number?

Begin with one search field. Use the owner’s last name, a simplified street address or the parcel number from a tax statement or deed. Open the likely result and verify the parcel number and site address.

Why is a recently purchased Scott County property still under the former owner?

The deed, Recorder index, Auditor transfer record and Assessor record may update at different stages. Search the former owner, review the Recorder’s land-record system and contact the Platroom when the transfer remains unclear.

When are Scott County Iowa property taxes due?

The first installment is due September 30 and the second installment is due March 31 of the following year. When a deadline falls on a weekend or holiday, the deadline extends to the next business day.

What are Scott County online property-tax payment fees?

Scott County currently publishes a 25-cent online electronic-check fee and a 2.25 percent credit-card service fee. Review the fee displayed by the payment system before submitting the transaction.

How do I protest a Scott County property assessment?

An informal assessment review is available annually from April 2 through April 25. A formal Board of Review petition may be filed from April 2 through April 30. Davenport property owners must work with the Davenport City Assessor.

Where can I search Scott County deeds, mortgages and liens?

Use the Scott County Recorder’s official Land Records page. AVA provides free public searching, while Laredo Anywhere offers account-based advanced searching. Only records maintained by the Recorder are official public records.

Are Scott County Beacon parcel lines legal boundaries?

No. Beacon and GIS parcel lines are useful for research and illustration but do not replace a recorded plat, legal description, corner certificate or professional boundary survey.

Which Scott County property credits can be filed online?

The county allows online applications for commonly used programs including Homestead, Military Service and Business Property Tax Credit through the tax-credit link at the bottom of an eligible Beacon property report.

Information checked August 7, 2026: Parcel-search functions, nightly updates, office jurisdictions, 2026 assessments, protest periods, tax dates, payment fees, Treasurer relocation notice, credits, Platroom services, GIS limits, Recorder searches, recording fees, transfer forms and septic requirements were checked against official Scott County and Davenport sources.

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:

Ohio Dept. of Taxation — Real Property DTE Forms (105A, 105C, 1, 109) ORC 5715 — Board of Revision ORC 5713 — Taxable Real Property ORC 322.02 — Conveyance Fee ORC 319.54(F)(3) — State Fee ORC 5713.30 — CAUV tax.ohio.gov — Main Portal

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.
