Cleveland Property Tax Assessment Questions

[JC Chavez]

I have a couple of questions regarding property taxes and value assessment in Cuyahoga County, OH. 

1) Is a 5+ multi-family apartment building considered 'Commercial' or 'Residential' in the eyes of the county assessor? I see there are 2 different tax rates depending on whether it is commercial or residential. Can someone who is familiar with the area tell me what township/neighborhood the zip code 44108 in? The pdf doesn't show it by zip code, just township.

2) Is the county property value reassessed on sale or does the same value, thus yearly tax burden remain the same even after new ownership? And if the property value is reassessed after sale, what is the new value? Is it based on the actual sales price or based on a new appraisal from the county?

Below is a snippet of the pdf and a link to the actual Cuyahoga county rates of taxation for 2020-21.
