This year, 2016, is the Triennial Appraisal Update which is required for Clark County. As Auditor John S. Federer explains, “This is not a total reevaluation whereby the Auditor examines every parcel in each part of the county. Rather, a triennial update is a review of neighborhood values based upon actual sales over the prior three years. This project has been in process since February of this year, and values will be updated for both agricultural and residential properties throughout Clark County.”

The Auditor is announcing an “Open Book” session being conducted from September 12 through October 14. During this time, property owners will be able to obtain information regarding their values by stopping in the Auditor’s Office at 31 N. Limestone Street, Springfield, Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., or by calling (937) 521-1878.

“My staff and I have worked very hard to ensure that property values are fair and accurate for all taxpayers in Clark County,” said Auditor Federer. Updated values will be reflected in the January 2017 tax bills.
