Ohio reassesses Crawford County homes triennially through the County Auditor, meaning your property receives a new valuation every three years with a mandatory 30-day appeal window from the notice. Apply for the 2.5% Owner-Occupancy Credit on your primary residence and the Homestead Exemption if you are 65 or older or disabled—file both with the Crawford County Auditor to lower your taxable value. Contact the Crawford County Auditor within 30 days of your purchase to review your property record, identify the next reassessment year, and prepare to file a timely Board of Revision protest if the assessed value appears inflated.
