County Auditors Association of Ohio

The County Auditors Association of Ohio is a professional association for county auditors. Founded in 1867, it works to promote taxpayers' interests and improve county government administration. The association provides educational opportunities to county auditors and duly appointed deputy auditors, and works with the Ohio General Assembly on legislative initiatives related to their duties. Its membership includes regular members and business partners, with regular membership limited to county auditors and appointed deputy auditors. CAAO also shares information about property tax reform recommendations, home valuation, tax rollbacks and reductions, and homeowner questions about property valuations. It holds conferences for members, including summer and winter conferences in Ohio. The association's website explains county auditors' roles in reviewing county spending requests and appraising residential property values for tax purposes.
