Richland County Auditor Pat Dropsey warns homeowners of a misleading letter a Cleveland area business has mailed out.

He says Tax Compliance Services is using outdated property values, and charging at least $125 for property tax relief services the county auditor's office will do for free. 

Dropsey says his staff will take the time to guide you through the process of appealing the property tax valuation of your home.

He says some county auditors in Ohio are discussing the company's mailings with their prosecutors, while some are bringing it to the attention of the Ohio Attorney's General's consumer division.
