CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - Property owners are seeing higher tax bills, after their property value increased this summer.

Under state law, Cuyahoga County must perform property reappraisals every six months.

On Tuesday, Cuyahoga County State Reps. Bride Rose Sweeney, Sean Patrick Brennan, Phillip M. Robinson and Cuyahoga County Executive Chris Ronayne held a news conference to address the changes and growing concerns from property owners.

“We got kids on the street in this county right now, we got seniors who are getting priced out of homes. The state needs to do something,” Ronayne said.

“We’ve heard your concerns, and we understand the financial burden these taxes will place on families who are trying to make ends meet.”

“Do not let any politician look at you in the eye and say that we do not have the money to pay for property tax relief at the State,” Sweeney said.

“What we’ve done is put Bandaid fix, after Bandaid fix. We did a constitutional amendment. We never actually looked at the whole system to say how we can actually tax people so everyone is paying their fair share.

Property owners who disagree with the Proposed Reappraised Value of their property can file for Informal Review until Friday, Aug. 30.

Property owners who are in agreement with their proposed valuation are NOT required to file for review.
