Multi Unit Property Tax Estimation

[Karthik Natarajan]

Am looking to buy a multi unit property in Columbus, OH and trying to estimate what the property tax would be.

I checked in the Franklin county assessor website and was able to find the property tax estimator. (https://audr-apps.franklincountyohio.gov/Calc/TaxEstimate) Based on that estimator, with the current purchase price the property tax would be ~2.5x of what is currently being paid.

This would completely kill the deal for me. Are the number from the estimator accurate or is there a better way to find out the the correct number. Any other strategies to handle this situation?
