Search Stark Parcels, Values & Maps
Find a Stark County property by owner name, street address or parcel number, then use the parcel record to review ownership, land and building details, market values, sales, credits, taxes, special assessments and inspection history.
This guide explains what to type, how to read every important tab, why a result may be missing, when to use GIS or Tax Map records, and which Stark County office handles payments, value complaints, transfers, Homestead or CAUV questions.
Quick answer: where should you start?
Start with the official Stark County Real Estate Search. Accept the disclaimer, choose Basic Search, and search by owner, property address or parcel/PIN. Open the matching parcel and use the left-side record tabs for Profile, Values, Sales, Tax Summary, Tax Detail, Special Assessments, Tax Map, Aerial Map and Pictometry.

Understand the Stark County property record
Once a parcel is open, the search system provides different tabs for different questions. Do not rely only on the owner and address displayed at the top.
Field |
What it tells you |
What to check next |
|---|---|---|
Parcel / PIN |
The primary county property identifier. |
Save it for payments, maps, forms, transfer and appeals. |
Routing number |
An additional geographic or tax-map reference. |
Use it to distinguish similar records or discuss map questions. |
Class |
Broad property category such as residential, agricultural, commercial or exempt. |
Check the land-use code for a more specific use. |
Land-use code |
The detailed recorded use, such as one-family dwelling or CAUV grain farm. |
Report a material classification error to the appraisal staff. |
Neighborhood |
The appraisal neighborhood assigned to the property. |
Use it when evaluating comparable sales and value changes. |
Acres |
The acreage displayed in the appraisal database. |
Use a deed or survey when legal acreage or boundaries matter. |
Taxing district |
The political and school-district combination used for taxation. |
Do not compare tax rates with a property in another district. |
Gross tax rate |
The stated full rate before applicable reduction factors. |
Use Tax Distribution and Tax Detail for the parcel-specific bill. |
Effective tax rate |
The effective rate after applicable statutory calculations. |
Use the actual Tax Summary rather than estimating from rate alone. |
Credits and programs |
Homestead, disabled-veteran, owner-occupancy, non-business, CAUV and agricultural-district indicators. |
Verify missing or unexpected credits with the Auditor. |
Inspection/review history |
Dates and codes for curb review, MLS review, Pictometry, owner access or other appraisal activity. |
Do not assume an exterior or aerial review means staff entered the home. |
Inspection and review codes are not violations
Entries such as exterior review, curb review, MLS review, Pictometry or no-access inspection document how appraisal information was reviewed. They do not automatically mean the owner violated a rule or that a formal interior inspection occurred.
Read values, sales and tax history correctly
Values and Values History
- Land value
- Building value
- Total market value
- Assessed or taxable figures where displayed
- CAUV value for qualifying land
- Year-by-year land value
- Year-by-year building value
- Total historical value
- CAUV history where applicable
- Timing of reappraisal or property changes
Ohio assessed value is generally 35% of market value, but the final bill also depends on the taxing district, effective rates, reduction factors, credits, special assessments, delinquencies and exemptions.
Sales tab
Review the sale date, sale amount, buyer, seller and transfer type. A family transfer, trust transfer, sheriff sale, partial interest, multi-parcel transaction or other non-market conveyance may not be a useful comparable sale.

What the Tax Map Department reviews
Find Stark County septic and well permits
Septic and private-well permits are not ordinary appraisal records. Use the Stark County Health Department’s separate permit search after identifying the property address and PIN.
Challenge an incorrect Stark County property value
The Board of Revision reviews complaints about property value. It does not hear a case merely because the owner believes the tax bill is too high.
Check these facts before filing
Talk to appraisal staff first
Stark County recommends contacting the Appraisal Office before filing a formal complaint. A factual property-card error may be easier to explain and document before starting a legal proceeding.

Stark County property search FAQs
How do I search Stark County property records by owner name?
Open the official Stark County Real Estate Search, accept the disclaimer and select Basic Search. Begin with the owner’s last name or the most distinctive word in a company or trust name. Add the first name only if too many results appear.
Can I search a Stark County property using only an address?
Yes. Start with the street number and main street name. Remove the street suffix, directional letters, punctuation and unit number if the first search returns no result.
What is a Stark County parcel number or PIN?
The parcel number or PIN is the primary county identifier for a property. It is the best reference to save for tax, GIS, value, transfer, Board of Revision and office-contact questions.
What is the routing number in a Stark County property record?
The routing number is an additional geographic and tax-map reference shown in the parcel profile. It can help distinguish similarly named properties and assist map or Tax Map Department research.
Why does the owner name not match a recent property purchase?
A deed may have been recorded recently but not yet reflected in every public system. Search the previous owner, check transfer history and rely on the recorded deed when legal ownership proof is required.
Are Stark County GIS parcel lines legally exact?
No. GIS, aerial and tax-map information helps locate and research parcels but should not replace a recorded deed, recorded plat or professional boundary survey.
How do I challenge a Stark County property value?
Review the parcel facts, contact the Appraisal Office, gather market-value evidence and file the current Board of Revision complaint during the published filing period. The Board reviews value disputes, not complaints that taxes are simply too high.
What is the Stark County Homestead Exemption?
The standard Homestead Exemption can shield up to $29,000 of qualifying market value from property taxation for eligible senior or permanently disabled homeowners. A larger exemption may apply to qualifying disabled veterans.
How does Stark County CAUV work?
CAUV values qualifying agricultural land according to soil productivity and agricultural use instead of ordinary market value. New applications require a fee, and qualifying owners must renew annually by the published deadline.
What is the Stark County Auditor phone number and address?
The Stark County Auditor’s main phone number is 330-451-7357. The office is at 110 Central Plaza South, Suite 220, Canton, Ohio 44702, and its published hours are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., excluding government holidays.

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.
