Following the 2008 triennial update, Franklin County had a total real estate market value of $97.7 billion. Residential properties were valued at $54.7 billion, commercial properties accounted for $19.1 billion, and industrial properties totaled $4.04 billion in value.
In addition, owners of properties that have been damaged by fire, flood or other means are encouraged to submit a Property Value Reduction Application. A substantial reduction in property value will result in a lower property tax bill until the property has been essentially restored to its prior condition. Applications for value reductions for properties damaged between Jan. 1 and Sept. 30 are due by Dec. 31 of the same tax year. Applications for properties damaged between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 are due no later than Jan. 31 of the year following the damage. The amount of the value reduction allowed is adjusted quarterly depending upon when the damage occurred. For more information please call 462-HOME (4663).
