MANSFIELD — Do you have questions about property taxes in Richland County?
Richland County Auditor Pat Dropsey has answers — and welcomes you to call his office for more details.
Dropsey joins episode No. 120 of the News Man Weekly podcast for a timely conversation about property taxes — a subject generating plenty of questions and frustration among local homeowners.
With Richland County undergoing its 2026 triennial property valuation update, Dropsey explains why home values are climbing, how those assessments translate into actual tax bills and what residents can expect when their bills arrive in 2027.
The conversation also covers Ohio’s complicated property tax system, recent legislative efforts to provide relief and what homeowners can do if they believe their property has been overvalued.
Whether you’re a longtime homeowner or just trying to make sense of your latest property assessment, this episode aims to make one of Ohio’s most confusing issues a little easier to understand.
If you have more questions, call the auditor’s office at 419-774-5501.
Before Dropsey joins us, our team of Carl Hunnell, Zac Hiser and Hayden Gray catch up on the latest headlines from north central Ohio, including the completion of Mansfield’s $20 million Main Street improvement project; the conviction of a former Faith Life Church official; and Mansfield City Council’s decision to put a proposed downtown camping ban on hold.
Plus, on the 51st anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald, Hunnell counts down his Top 5 worst maritime disasters in history, from the Titanic to some lesser-known tragedies that claimed thousands of lives.
As always, this episode is powered by the great folks at Relax, It’s Just Coffee.
