In Montgomery County, overall property values are up.
According to Auditory Karl Keith, they’ve gone from $39 billion to nearly $46 billion, or a nearly $7 billion increase to the county's total real estate value.
These changes come after the county's 2026 property reappraisal affecting more than 260,000 property owners. A reappraisal is a state-mandated update of all property values.
Keith also emphasized property taxes will not increase at the same rate as property value. For most property owners, they can expect an average 2027 property tax increase 1.5% to 2%.
Property owners who disagree with their tentative value may schedule a free, one-on-one informal review beginning July 16 through the end of August. Appointments can be scheduled online at MCReval.org
The Auditor's Office also encourages residents to use the online interactive map to compare property values in their neighborhood as well as recent home sales.
Meetings will be held by Zoom or telephone and last approximately 15 minutes.
Also, this summer, the Montgomery County Auditor's Office will host community forums. The purpose is to help property owners better understand their new values and to explain the reappraisal process.
Dayton Metro Library, the Germantown Public Library, the Washington-Centerville Public Library and the Wright Memorial Public Library will host these events. Each forum will include an informational presentation and time for people to ask questions.
