Property appeal decision notices to be sent this week

Decision notices to the nearly 2,750 Warren County property owners who appealed their property valuation as part of Warren County's property reassessment will be sent later this week.

The letters will be dated Nov. 12 and be mailed at once later this week.

Chief Assessor Brian Bull said that "Clean and Green" program letters will also be sent at the same time.

A total of 2,741 appeals were held this summer as part of the reassessment process. With the appeal process complete, the next major task is the certificate of values for all parcels, which must be completed by Nov. 15. That data is then sent to the county's taxing bodies to be incorporated as part of the 2026 budget process.

Unlike past notices sent as part of this process that went to all property owners, Deputy Chief Assessor Beth Schmader pointed out that only people that filed appeals will receive these notices.

Bull encouraged those who don't receive their notice in two to three weeks to reach out to the Assessment office. That's because appellants have 30 days from the date on the decision notice - Nov. 12 - to file with the Court of Common Pleas should they wish to challenge the appeal board's decision.

Assessment staff are unable to provide legal counsel or directives on how to file that challenge and those looking to do so are encouraged to contact an attorney.

Distribution of the decision notices brings the reassessment process, the county's first reassessment since 1989, to a close.
