Important Real Estate Tax Notice

Revised Code section 323.131(C)(1):

NOTICE: If the taxes are not paid within one year from the date they are due, the property is subject to foreclosure for tax delinquency.

Revised Code section 323.131(C)(2):

NOTICE: If the taxes charged against this parcel have been reduced by the 2-1/2 percent tax reduction for residences occupied by the owner but the property is not a residence occupied by the owner, the owner must notify the county auditor's office not later than March 31 of the year following the year for which the taxes are due. Failure to do so may result in the owner being convicted of a fourth degree misdemeanor, which is punishable by imprisonment up to 30 days, a fine up to $250, or both, and in the owner having to repay the amount by which the taxes were erroneously or illegally reduced, plus any interest that may apply.

If the taxes charged against this parcel have not been reduced by the 2-1/2 percent tax reduction and the parcel includes a residence occupied by the owner, the parcel may qualify for the tax reduction. To obtain an application for the tax reduction or further information, the owner may contact the county auditor's office at P.O. Box 34 Wapakoneta, Ohio 45895.
