Home / Ohio / Summit County / Green
Green homes got new values in Summit County's 2026 reappraisal, and you'll be able to challenge them between January 1 and March 31, 2027. We compared 408 recent sales here with those new values, and here's what we found: the typical home sold for 13.1 percent more than its new value. 13 percent sold for less.
That's a bit more than Summit County as a whole, where the typical sale ran 11.7 percent above its new value. So honestly, for most Green homeowners an appeal isn't going to get anywhere, because the county's number is already below what homes like theirs really sell for.
But with 13 percent of homes selling below their new value, the county's number is probably too high on some of them, and that's where an appeal can actually work. Our free check looks up your home, finds similar homes in your own neighborhood that sold close to January 1, 2026, and tells you straight which side you're on. Most people who use it get told not to bother, and we'd rather you heard that now.
Basically, you file a complaint with the Summit County Board of Revision between January 1 and March 31, 2027, on the state's form DTE 1. It's a short form, and you'll put down what you think the home's worth. Summit takes them online, and if you'd rather mail it, a postmark by March 31 counts. Filing's free, and honestly you don't need a lawyer for it.
Now the question the board asks is what your home was really worth on January 1, 2026, which is the date the reappraisal valued it. So the evidence that really counts is sales of genuinely similar homes close to that date, or your own purchase price if you bought around then. Today's prices don't.
Ask for $50,000 or more off and your school district can argue back. Under Ohio Revised Code 5715.19, a complaint that large lets the school board file its own complaint within 30 days, arguing for a higher value. Below that line, it can't. So it's really worth knowing which side of $50,000 you're on before you file, and our free check tells you.
Also, if you're 65 or older, or disabled, and your household income's under $41,000, Ohio's homestead exemption takes $29,000 off your home's value for 2026. You'll apply with the Summit County Fiscal Office, and it's honestly worth more than most appeals here.

The sales comparison is our own. We took every sale from 2025 and 2026 that Summit County's Fiscal Office marks as a valid market sale, for homes built before 2025, and compared each price with the home's January 1, 2026 value on the county's parcel map, read 2026-10-07. We didn't count sales marked with other codes, like family transfers and foreclosures, because they don't reflect what a home's actually worth. We only show a town with at least 100 sales.
And the filing window, the form and the Board of Revision process come from Summit County's own Board of Revision page. The counter-complaint rule is Ohio Revised Code 5715.19, and Akron's tax rate is from the Fiscal Office's 2025 full rate summary. Tax year 2026 rates will change with the reappraisal, so the savings figures here are honestly estimates.
