How to discover your new property taxes on your Columbus investment

Ever wonder what your taxes will be on your new property...Franklin County (Columbus) has a very handy tool to predict what your taxes will be. While the transfer does not trigger an automatic reassessment, we do have tri-annual reassessments and if your property was purchased for a higher dollar amount, odds of a new assessment are guaranteed.

1- Find the property on the Auditor site (tip- better results come from less input into the search field)

Search by address

less detail is better here, but type in the full name first to see if the system finds the address

2- Select the Tax Calculator option in the left menu

3- Select "Estimate your property taxes"

4- Enter the details and proposed amount (this is not the sale price, its the base market value!)...run the report and check your results!
