Welcome to the website of Adrian Biviano, Trumbull County Auditor. This site is provided for access to public information in an effort to better serve the citizens of Trumbull County.
The county auditor maintains the integrity of financial administration of county government by overseeing the financial record-keeping for the county and to assure that all expenditures comply with the county budget. The county auditor must audit all bills approved for payment by the board of commissioners before checks are issued. All expenses must be legitimate with adequate funds to cover payments within each departmental budget.
The county auditor's office is broken down into various divisions in order to best serve the public. Within these divisions you will find personal property, board of revisions, manufactured homes, estate tax, and vendor, dog and cigarette licensing, just to name a few. Located within the navigation bar to the left of the screen are all divisions of the auditor's office with clickable links to information on each area.

***2011 Reappraisal***
The 2011 Tentative Reappraisal Values are available on our Property Search page. If you should have further questions please contact us (330) 675-2895.
Ohio Law requires the county auditor to reappraise all real property every six years and to update values every three years. In Trumbull County, the last reappraisal was completed in 2005, and the last update was in 2008, so 2011 is a reappraisal year.
Under Ohio Law, the county auditor does not raise or lower property taxes. Taxes are determined by the voters. The auditor’s responsibility is to determine a fair market value for your property, the price at which the property would change hands between a willing seller and a willing buyer.
