The Summit County Board of Revision reviews complaints about property values.  Taxpayers who do not agree with our valuation of their property have the opportunity to file a complaint with the Board of Revision for review of property values.  When a complaint is filed, the Board of Revision will schedule a hearing, review testimony provided and issue a decision on whether a correction should be made to the valuation.  The board does not hear complaints regarding real estate taxes.
