COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio property owners whose homes suffered damage during recent severe weather could receive temporary property tax relief under state law.

Read in Somali ↓

According to Franklin County Auditor Michael Stinziano, county auditors across Ohio have the authority to temporarily lower the valuation of damaged or destroyed properties. Lowering a property’s assessed value can reduce the overall property tax owed for the affected tax year.

To qualify, a property does not need to be a complete loss. Partial damage, such as a roof damaged by a fallen tree, severe wind structural damage, or flooding, is eligible for consideration. The reduced property valuation remains in effect until repairs are completed.

For damage that took place between July and September, property owners must submit an application by Dec. 31. State law explicitly prohibits county auditor offices from processing any applications submitted after that date.

In Franklin County, homeowners can file the application online or by mail. The application requires answering roughly half a page of questions regarding the location and extent of the damage. Stinziano advised property owners to submit their forms by the deadline even if they do not yet have complete insurance or repair details, as the Franklin County Auditor’s Office will work with owners as permits are pulled and repairs progress.

The property tax reduction opportunity is available statewide. Residents outside Franklin County who experienced weather-related property damage should reach out directly to their local county auditor’s office to apply before the deadline.

Mulkiilayaasha Ohio oo Heli Kara Dhimis Canshuureed ka hor 31-ka Disembar

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Mulkiilayaasha guryaha ee gobolka Ohio ee ay guryahooda ama dhismayaashooda waxyeello ka soo gaartay duufaannadii dhowaan dhacay ayaa heli kara dhimis ku meel gaar ah oo lagu samaynayo canshuurta hantida, iyadoo la raacayo sharciga gobolka.

Hanti-dhowrka Deegaanka Franklin County, Michael Stinziano, ayaa sheegay in sharciga gobolka Ohio uu u oggolaanayo hanti-dhowrka deegaannada (county auditors) inay ku meel gaar ah u dhiman karaan qiimaha guryaha waxyeelladu ka soo gaartay ama burburay. Hoos u dhigista qiimaha hantida ee lagu samaynayo qiimaynta ayaa keeni karta inay hoos u dhacdo canshuurta laga bixinayo guriga ee sannad-canshuureedkaas.

Si guri ama dhisme uu u helo dhimistan, looma baahna inuu noqdo mid gebi ahaanba burburay. Waxaa dhimistaan u qalma guryaha ay ka soo gaartay waxyeello qeyb ahaan ah, sida dhir ku soo dhacday saqafka guryaha, waxyeellada daadadka, ama dabaylaha xoogga badan oo dhaawacay dhismeha. Qiimo dhimista ku meel gaarka ah ayaa sii jireysa ilaa inta guriga ama dhismaha lagu samaynayo dib-u-dhis ama dib-u-habayn.

Hantida ama guryaha ay waxyeelladu ka soo gaartay duufaannadii dhacay intii u dhaxeysay bilaha Luuliyo iyo Sebtembar, waa in mulkiilayaashoodu soo gudbiyaan dalabka dhimista canshuurta ka hor 31-ka Disembar. Sharciga gobolka ayaa si ka dhiadhian u forbidaya xafiisyada hanti-dhowrka deegaannada inay habeeyaan ama hawl-geliyaan dalabyada la soo gudbiyo taariikhdaas ka dib.

Deegaanka Franklin County, dadka guryaha leh waxay dalabka ku soo gudbin karaan khadka intarneedka ama boostada. Foomka dalabka ayaa u baahan in laga jawaabo su’aalo kooban oo dhererkoodu yahay qiyaastii bog bar ahaan, kuwaas oo ku saabsan meesha ay waxyeelladu ka dhacday iyo inta ay le’eg tahay.

Michael Stinziano ayaa kula taliyay dadka guryaha leh inay soo gudbiyaan foomamka ka hor taariikhda loo qabtay, xitaa haddii aysan weli haynin dhammaan macluumaadka caymiska ama kuwa dib-u-habaynta. Wuxuu sheegay in xafiiskiisu uu kala shaqayn doono mulkiilayaasha habka dib-u-dhiska marka ruqsadaha dhismaha la soo bixiyo iyo marka dhismayaasha la cusboonaysiiyo.

fursaddan dhimista canshuurta hantida ayaan ku koobnayn oo kaliya Franklin County, ee waxay furan tahay dhammaan gobolka Ohio. Dadka ku nool deegaannada kale ee Ohio ee guryahooda ay waxyeello ka soo gaartay stoomka ayaa loogu baaqay inay si toos ah ula xiriiraan xafiiska hanti-dhowrka deegaankooda ka hor inta aysan dhammaan muddada loo qabtay ee Dec. 31.
