How to Reach the Editorial Team
Got a correction, a question, a press request, or a privacy inquiry? You’re in the right place. This page sets out the right channel for each kind of message and what to expect from us in response.
If you want to file a Board of Revision complaint, dispute a property valuation, apply for Homestead Exemption, or file any other property-tax or vendor-license matter, contact your county auditor’s office directly — every county page on this site links to the office. To report fraud against a public office, contact the Ohio Auditor of State at ohioauditor.gov. ohioauditors.org/ is an editorial guide, not a complaint-resolution body. See the routing table at the bottom of this page.

- The page URL on ohioauditors.org/ you're referring to (if relevant)
- The county your question relates to
- What you expected to find or what you think is wrong
- If possible, the link from the official county or state agency site that supports the correction

Please don’t include Social Security numbers, full bank-account information, or other sensitive personal data in messages to us. We don’t need it and we can’t act on it. If you’re trying to navigate a specific property record, your county auditor’s office is the right office, not us.

How We Operate
ohioauditors.org/ is a digital-only publication. We don't have a physical office open to the public, do not accept walk-in visitors, and do not publish a postal address for general correspondence. Email is the way to reach us.
What We Won’t Engage With
- Abusive, threatening, or harassing messages — these are not acted on and may be reported to authorities
- Messages targeting specific county auditors, BOR members, or other public officials for harassment
- Bulk SEO outreach, link-insertion requests, and “guest post” pitches that aren’t relevant to Ohio county auditors
- Requests to remove factual statements about a county auditor or state agency that are accurate and properly sourced
- FCRA-purpose questions (employment, tenancy, credit, insurance) — those require a Consumer Reporting Agency, not us
- Requests for us to look up a specific property record — we don’t perform individual lookups; the county auditor’s portal is the primary source
- Requests for us to file a Board of Revision complaint, vendor’s-license application, or any other filing on someone’s behalf
- Generic marketing emails, sales pitches, and unsolicited proposals not specific to our work
