Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply)

True Cash and Taxable Value

 

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

Hello, I just bought our home in January 2025 for $210,000. I have an appraisal form from The Huntington National Bank stating our value is right at $210,000 on 

the dot, with local comps in the area showing likewise, if not lower values. Edwards township is trying to increase my 2026 taxable value from $63,772 to $122,500. 

That's a 17% increase/$58,728 jump in just one year. It will be a $1,489 increase in taxes owed to start this year, and continue to go up as time goes on. I do 

understand that my property taxes become uncapped the first year after you purchase a home, but a 17% increase in taxable value is not justified. They're basically 

stating my home is worth $245,000 in just one year, with no improvements. I do know that across the board the state went up 2.7% and the inflation multiplier is at 

1.027%, which equals 3.727% (3.8%), so how does one justify going up 17% in single year, with no modifications done to the home, and I have an appraisal stating 

the current cash value at $210,000. I could see the taxable value being at $105,000 which is right at the current value like it should be, but $122,500 for taxable 

value (And SEV/Assessed value), is simply not justified or correct. 

Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues

Year(s) you are appealing:

2026

Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review (BOR)? Yes

If Yes, check which BOR you attended AND upload the BOR decision: March

If No, check the applicable reason(s):

Did you request a Poverty Exemption at the BOR? 

If Yes, check which BOR considered your application AND upload the BOR decision:

Section 4: Issues Being Appealed (check all that apply)

True Cash and Taxable Value

 

Section 5: Explain the Reason for this Appeal

Hello, I just bought our home in January 2025 for $210,000. I have an appraisal form from The Huntington National Bank stating our value is right at $210,000 on 

the dot, with local comps in the area showing likewise, if not lower values. Edwards township is trying to increase my 2026 taxable value from $63,772 to $122,500. 

That's a 17% increase/$58,728 jump in just one year. It will be a $1,489 increase in taxes owed to start this year, and continue to go up as time goes on. I do 

understand that my property taxes become uncapped the first year after you purchase a home, but a 17% increase in taxable value is not justified. They're basically 

stating my home is worth $245,000 in just one year, with no improvements. I do know that across the board the state went up 2.7% and the inflation multiplier is at 

1.027%, which equals 3.727% (3.8%), so how does one justify going up 17% in single year, with no modifications done to the home, and I have an appraisal stating 

the current cash value at $210,000. I could see the taxable value being at $105,000 which is right at the current value like it should be, but $122,500 for taxable 

value (And SEV/Assessed value), is simply not justified or correct. 

Section 6: Jurisdictional Issues

Year(s) you are appealing:

2026

Did you protest the assessment at a Board of Review (BOR)? Yes

If Yes, check which BOR you attended AND upload the BOR decision: March

If No, check the applicable reason(s):

If Yes, check which BOR considered your application AND upload the BOR decision:
