Welcome to Ohio County Assessor's Office

The goal of the County Assessor is to work towards every real property being fairly and equally assessed. Assessing officials must follow the rules of the Department of Local Government Finance (DLGF) in all assessment or reassessment of real property. The mission of a reassessment is to inventory, verify, and value all real estate parcels. This process distributes the property tax burden in a uniform and equitable manner. Mass assessment is not perfect, so we encourage property owners to review their assessments. You may access your property record card on our GIS website, or come into the office for a copy. We welcome any questions and/or concerns.

The Assessor is also responsible for evaluating personal property returns for a farm or business operating within the county. Personal property values are assessed January 1 of every year and are self-reported by property owners to the County Assessor using prescribed state forms. The completed personal property return must be received or postmarked no later than May 15.

If you have less than $2,000,000.00 in acquisition costs on 01/01/2026, AND file a timely 2026 return, you will no longer be required to file UNLESS you acquire additional personal property which would put you above the $2,000,000.00 exemption threshold.
