Tax relief and valuation review
A homestead exemption, senior-relief program, or valuation protest can change the amount a homeowner owes—but only if the filing reaches the right local office in the correct window. Use the verified county guidance below as your working checklist, then confirm the current form and deadline with Logan County Auditor (Jack Reser) / Treasurer (Rhonda K. Stafford).
Relief programs
The filing guidance for this county is: December 31, 2026 for real-property homestead applications; Logan County says manufactured-home applications for the year are due the first Monday in June. Use the official form or application channel, provide the residence and ownership documentation requested, and keep a copy of the submission.
Open homestead applicationLogan County's 2026 homestead page: $29,000 market-value reduction for qualifying seniors and disabled homeowners and $58,000 for qualifying disabled veterans; own and occupy the primary residence January 1; 2025 income limit for the 2026 application is $41,000; applications are accepted through December 31.
Logan County's 2026 Treasurer notice identifies HB 186's automatic Inflation Cap Credit on eligible second-half 2025 bills; Ohio HB 920 reduction factors also limit voted-levy revenue growth after revaluation. This is not a general parcel-value cap.
Appealing an assessment
Use the valuation notice and the county’s published protest guidance to determine the last day to file. Do not assume the payment deadline controls the appeal.
Gather comparable sales, photographs, repair records, appraisal evidence, property characteristics, and any documentation that explains why the assessed value is incorrect.
Submit through the official channel, save the confirmation, and attend the board or review hearing if one is scheduled. An appraiser or attorney can help evaluate evidence when the value or stakes are substantial.
The verified protest guidance for this county is: January 1–March 31, 2026 for tax year 2025 payable in 2026; Logan County Board of Revision complaints use DTE 1 and the statutory March 31 deadline. If the language is not a specific calendar date, contact the office promptly for the current notice and board-review schedule.
