Q: Is there any case law defining "a reasonable length of time" as used in Ohio Revised Code 5713.03?
2016 valuation changed to sale price on 1/26/17 (over 1 year after lien date).
To clarify: the auditor IS using the sale price from a sale over a year after the lien date. I want to know if I have a legit argument that 391 days AFTER the lien date is not within a reasonable length of time and therefore the 2017 sale should not be used to set the 2016 value. Thanks!
A: There may be some case law on that point, but here's the thing: the statute says the auditor "may consider" the sale price. It doesn't say they have to.
