to discuss property revaluation process at the next Government Affairs meeting

 

anita lopez The decreased revaluation of property in Toledo and Lucas County has recently been in the headlines. 

 

This Friday, August 3, at 7:30 a.m., the Chamber's Government Affairs Committee welcomes Lucas County Auditor Anita Lopez to discuss the revaluation process.

 

At the meeting, Ms. Lopez will explain how property values are calculated, what owners can do to contest values they believe to be inaccurate and how the values affect property taxes.

 

The meeting will take place at 7:30 a.m. in the Chamber Board Room. Chamber members are welcome to attend and there is no cost to do so, but a reservation is required. To RSVP for the event, please contact Pam Mohler at 419-243-8191 or pam.mohler@toledochamber.com.
