Warren County’s ongoing property reassessment has shifted out of the City of Warren.

Commissioner Ben Kafferlin told the Council of Governments on Wednesday that the contractor – Vision – had used the city as a way of “kind of getting their feet wet, training employees.”

He said that made sense because of the “rapid fire, back-to-back” nature of assessing the residential neighborhoods.

With the training complete, Kafferlin said that assessors are now in the field – “out in the hinterlands” – to “do as much out there, getting that stuff out of the way in the good weather.”

“They’ll come back to the city in the winter,” he added.

Residents can expect to be notified before assessors come to their home.

Kafferlin said mailings are going to homes “before they go to (an) area.”

The changes from the reassessment won’t be reflected in a tax bill until 2025.

Kafferlin said it would be “this time next year before we have all 27-28,000 parcels in Warren County covered.”

That would be followed by months of analysis and then an appeals period.

“We as elected officials will need to know what our role is,” COG chair Paul Pascuzzi said. “We need to know the rules.”

“As we come closer … we can share that information,” Commissioner Tricia Durbin said. “It’s still very early on. (We are) hoping that there aren’t going to be any hiccups that are going to move the timelines one way or another.”
