OH HB231

Requires counties, municipal corporations, townships, and school boards to pass a resolution approving complaints against property valuations they do not own before filing such complaints.

Resolution must identify the parcel subject to complaint, name the property owner(s), specify the valuation change sought, and disclose the legal representative's name, address, and compensation terms (hourly rate, contingency fee, flat fee, or other arrangement).

Exempts county treasurers and prosecuting attorneys from needing a separate resolution if the board of county commissioners has already adopted one approving the complaint.

No new resolution required when changing legal representatives unless the new representative's compensation exceeds that stated in the existing resolution.

Does not apply to complaints filed in support of or objecting to previously filed complaints or current valuations under existing division (B) procedures.
