Columbiana County property revaluations

LISBON-- Appraisers for the Columbiana County Auditor's Office will be conducting field checks and review of residential and agricultural properties in Center Township and in the village of Lisbon beginning Feb. 16 in connection with the continuing 2022 Revaluation of Columbiana County.

The tentative order of the areas scheduled include Center Township/Lisbon Village, Salem Township/ Leetonia/Washingtonville, Perry Township/Salem City, Fairfield Township/Columbiana and Unity Township/East Palestine/New Waterford.

County Auditor Nancy Milliken said residential and agricultural appraisers hired by the county will be out in the areas with the objective of capturing accurate information regarding homes and farms. Appraisers will be visiting property owners between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday in order to possibly interview them about particular characteristics of their properties.

An "on-foot or drive by" inspection of the exterior of the properties may be a part of the process.

Milliken said there is no cause for alarm if when witnessing such an inspection; but, also stresses that it is important that the appraiser in question has a valid Revaluation I.D. and a sign on their car.

The appraisers will not necessarily be going to each house in a particular area, so don't be concerned if to see someone in the neighborhood and they do not visit one's house. If no one is home at the time of the visit, the appraisers will leave a "door card questionnaire" which property owners are requested to complete and mail back to the Auditor's field appraisal office. For information contact the Auditor's Real Estate office at 330-424-9515.

Starting at /week.
