Never budget based solely on your loan officer's initial Closing Disclosure quote if the seller held the property for multiple years. You can request your lender to escrow based on the purchase price from Day 1, or proactively set aside the projected tax deficit in a high-yield savings account (HYSA) to pay the lump-sum shortage when the Year 2 escrow analysis arrives.
Statutory Authority: Ohio Rev. Code Ann. § 5713.01 & House Bill 920 Tax Reduction Factors
Ohio county auditors perform full sexennial reappraisals every six years with triennial updates in between. Ohio House Bill 920 protects existing residents by adjusting effective millage rates as values rise, but recent home purchasers experience base reassessment to their purchase price.
When your county completes its triennial update or sexennial reappraisal, the auditor updates your home's taxable value to recent market sales. The resulting higher tax bill creates a deficit in your lender's escrow analysis.
