Ohio postpones Lake County property reappraisal
PAINESVILLE, Ohio, — Lake County’s next full property reappraisal will be delayed by one year due to a statewide realignment of Ohio’s revaluation schedule, county Auditor Christopher Galloway announced Friday.
The Ohio Department of Taxation’s realignment of Ohio’s property reappraisal calendar shifts Lake County’s next sexennial revaluation from 2030 to 2031.
The county’s 2027 triennial update will still move forward on schedule.
The change is part of a broader effort to smooth out how counties across the state conduct large-scale property valuations.
In total, 16 counties, including Lake County, will see their reappraisal years adjusted so the workload is spread more evenly from year to year, according to a press release.
Galloway, vice president of the County Auditors Association of Ohio and a member of the governor’s Property Tax Working Group, said the shift has been a long time coming.
“It is important that the three-year staggered cycles be better balanced to ensure the work of property valuation is done as efficiently and accurately as possible,” he said. “As a county that is moving from 2030 to 2031, knowing now helps us plan and best communicate with residents well in advance.”
By redistributing counties more evenly across the calendar, state officials say assessors can do their work more accurately and with fewer resource strains.
For Lake County officials, the advance notice also helps with planning and communication. Galloway said the change gives officials time to prepare and to explain the process to residents well before it happens.
For property owners, the most immediate impact is timing. Instead of seeing a full reappraisal three years after the 2027 triennial update, Lake County residents will now wait four years.
Galloway said that extra year could matter, especially if the housing market cools and returns to more typical patterns.
“My hope is that it buys our residents more time and hopefully a housing and real estate market that returns to historical norms and therefore far lower valuation increases,” he said. “Additionally, it is my hope that technology advances by 2031 will help us to greatly reduce the cost of the Sexennial revaluation and therefore save tax dollars,”
CINCINNATI (WKRC) — Sixty percent of children in Ohio are not ready for kindergarten when they start school.
Now, a national nonprofit is working to change that by expanding access to books and promoting early literacy across the state.

Nedra Smith has seen the difference firsthand. Her two young daughters receive books through the program at their pediatrician visits at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital.
“They love to read now,” Smith said. “We’ll randomly be out and they’ll see a book and want to read a book.”
Reach Out and Read partners with pediatricians to give children books during regular checkups and encourage parents to read aloud with them. The program has been part of Cincinnati Children’s for more than a decade.
“They typically come in and tell us they got new books,” Smith said. “They typically ask me to read the book right then and there.”
Program leaders say early literacy is increasingly being recognized as an important part of a child’s overall health and development.
“Initially, literacy may not have been in the forefront or seen as a health benefit,” said Kristy High, program manager for Reach Out and Read. “Well-child checks focus on shots, nutrition, and those things; but now we want to focus on those main benefits for the development and milestones when it comes to learning.”
The organization is now working to expand its reach statewide, with a goal of serving children in all 88 Ohio counties.
“We know that those first five years of life are the most critical for brain development,” said Steven Lake, executive director of Reach Out and Read Ohio. “If we can intervene as early as possible, essentially, we reach out at birth; we know we can have the greatest impact.”
Smith encourages other parents to participate in the program and read to their children.
“It’s fun,” Smith said. “It’s actually fun to see them light up, and I think they’ll pass that on to their own kids as well.”
Reach Out and Read also partners with providers in Kentucky and Indiana. You can find a participating provider near you on the organization’s website.

Ryan Day will have some very familiar competition in the Big 10 soon.
The son of the Ohio State football coach, R.J. Day, announced his commitment to Northwestern for the Class of 2027 on Sunday.
Northwestern plays in the same conference as Ohio State and the schools will face each other.
R.J. Day, a 6-foot-1, 205-pound quarterback from — not surprisingly — Columbus, Ohio, has started for three years at St. Francis DeSales HS as he heads towards his senior season.
According to reports, the younger Day had other offers from Purdue, Syracuse, Cincinnati and South Florida, as well as others.
Northwestern has eight quarterbacks on head coach David Braun’s roster.
And the offensive coordinator for the Wildcats is Chip Kelly, who served in the same role for Ryan Day at Ohio State when the Buckeyes won the title in 2024.
Kelly, the former head coach at UCLA and Oregon, was also the offensive coordinator at New Hampshire when Ryan Day was the team captain from 1998-2001.
Most recently, Kelly was the OC with the Las Vegas Raiders before he took the job with Northwestern.
“It’s really surreal when you think about the relationships that we’ve had with those two as a family over the years,” R.J. Day told ESPN earlier this month. “Coach Kelly coached my dad in college, so that adds another layer to it.”
