Here is the information on how to appeal the assessed value of your home in Lorain County to reduce your property taxes.

This is the link to their website:

          ( http://www.loraincounty.com/auditor/real-estate-taxes/board-of-revision  )

The process is very similar, from county to county. 

Here is the link to the "Complaint" form:

          ( http://www.loraincounty.com/auditor/cms/files/File/forms/2012%20DTE%201.pdf  )

This is a nice FYI published by the Mark Stewart, the Lorain County Auditor and may be helpful.

        (  http://www.loraincounty.com/auditor/real-estate-taxes/board-of-revision-message  )

Sometime after your Complaint is filed, you will receive a notice from the Clerk of the Board of Revisions, to schedule an in-person hearing.  This is where you, and only you, will present your case as to why your assessed value should be reduced so that you have lower property taxes.

I would also encourage you to read the other pages on "Property Tax Appeals" and "What Are The Risks" for additional details.

Good luck!
