CLEVELAND, Ohio – Cuyahoga County property taxes are coming due July 18, covering the second half of 2023 – before bills are likely to increase.
Residents can view their current bills online or owners can request a physical copy from the treasurer’s office by calling 216-443-7400, and selecting option 1.
To pay the bill, homeowners can go through the county’s MyPlace website or the Point & Pay website. Or payments can be made in person at or mailed to the Cuyahoga County Treasurer’s Office, 2079 E. 9th St., Cleveland, OH 44115. If mailed, owners should include the parcel number on the check or money order.
Payments can also be deposited at drop boxes located at all Cuyahoga County Auto Title and Key Bank locations, or phoned in with check, credit or debit card at 1-877-738-1212.
The treasurer’s office is extending hours to assist with in-person payments. In addition to its regular hours, it will also be open from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on July 13 and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. on July 18.
The county offers EasyPay, a free service for homeowners wishing to make payments in monthly, semiannual or yearly installments.
Many residents are likely to see next year’s property taxes increase, though, following the recent sexennial reappraisal.
The county, over the past year, has been reevaluating the values of all commercial and residential properties, as state law requires every six years. Residents should start receiving those valuations soon.
Some of them will result in higher taxes. During the most recent appraisal conducted in 2021, as part of the three-year review, for example, Cuyahoga County property values increased 16%, cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer previously reported.
County officials are meeting with cleveland.com next week to discuss the expected financial impact on homeowners and the process for those who wish to contest their new valuations.
The county has been trying to prepare residents for the changes since April, through a series of information sessions. Those sessions were expected to wrap up in June, but two more have been added in July:
- From 6-8 p.m. on July 29 at St. Agnes Our Lady of Fatima Church, 6800 Lexington Ave.
- From 6-8 p.m. on July 30 at Tri-C East Campus Theatre, 4250 Richmond Road, Highland Hills
