December 31, 2026 for the 2026 real-property application under DTE 105A; the county also describes late current-year applications through the first Monday in June.
Senior relief
For the 2026 application, Ohio's homestead reduction is up to $29,000 of market value; Hancock's page lists a $40,000 2025-income threshold for tax-year-2025 bills payable in 2026, while the inflation-adjusted 2026 threshold is $41,000 of 2025 Ohio modified adjusted gross income.
Valuation limits
No general county parcel-value cap was published. Ohio assesses real property at 35% of market value, reappraises every six years with triennial updates, and applies HB 920 reduction factors and the 10-mill limitation. House Bill 186, effective March 20, 2026, creates an Inflation Cap Credit for qualifying school-district/JVS levy growth; it is a tax credit/collection limitation, not a general cap on appraised or taxable parcel value.
For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
