FULL STORY: Mahoning County releases triennial property appraisal results, details average increases

Here are key takeaways:

  • Residential property values rose an average of 24.34% countywide, with increases ranging from 13.09% in Austintown to 39.47% in Milton.
  • Agricultural properties saw the steepest jump at 31.07%, followed by commercial at 20.6% and industrial at 18.1%.
  • Higher property values don’t automatically mean higher taxes. The previous cycle brought a 38% valuation increase but only a 7% tax hike, with levies, new construction and other factors affecting rates.
  • Meacham said properties are staying on the market longer, but limited housing supply continues to drive sales prices up across the county, state and region.
  • Property owners can view their 2026 preliminary values on the auditor’s website and file appeals with the Board of Revision between Jan. 1 and March 31, 2027. The next full revaluation won’t happen until 2030.
