CUYAHOGA COUNTY, OH – The Cuyahoga County Board of Revision (“BOR”) is now accepting complaints from property owners wishing to challenge their property valuations for Tax Year 2025. The BOR will accept complaints from January 1, 2026 through March 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

All complaints must be received by the BOR by 11:59 p.m. on March 31, 2026 or bear a United States Postal Service postmark of March 31, 2026 or earlier. The BOR will reject all complaints bearing non-USPS postmarks that the BOR receives after March 31, 2026.

• A complete appraisal report from the last calendar year
• Dated photographs of the property showing existing conditions
• Certified estimates from a contractor for repairs
• Purchase agreement with closing statement
• New construction costs certified by a builder (hard and soft costs)

Property owners do not need to submit evidence at the time of filing the complaint. Evidence can be submitted up to 7 business days before the scheduled hearing.
