Full text of Ohio Ohio Revised Code § 5559.10, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 5559.10.
As soon as all questions of compensation and damages have been determined in a road
improvement case, the county engineer shall make, upon actual view, an estimated assessment
upon the real estate to be charged therewith, of the compensation, damages, and costs
of an improvement as provided by section 5559.02 of the Revised Code . Such estimated assessment shall be according to the benefit which will result to
the real estate. In making such assessment the engineer may take into consideration any previous
special assessments made upon the real estate for road improvements. The schedule of such assessments shall be filed in the office of the board of county
commissioners for the inspection of the persons interested. Before adopting the assessment, the board shall publish, once each week for two
consecutive weeks, in a newspaper of general circulation in the county or as provided
in section 7.16 of the Revised Code , notice that such assessment has been made, is on file in the office of the board,
and the date when objections will be heard to such assessment. If any owner of property affected thereby desires, the owner may file objections
to said assessments, in writing, with the board before the time for hearing. If any objections are filed the board shall hear them and act as an equalizing board. It may change such assessments if, in its opinion, any change is necessary to make
them just and equitable, and the board shall approve and confirm such assessments
as reported by the engineer or modified by it. Such assessments, when so approved and confirmed, shall be a lien on the land chargeable
therewith.
