The Ohio Supreme Court on Tuesday vacated an Ohio Board of Tax Appeals decision affirming a county appraiser’s $8.8 million valuation of a Lowe’s Inc. property. The Court found, in a 4-3 decision, that new case law required reconsideration. These new cases established that comparable properties used to determine a property’s market value generally must be adjusted to reflect any lease encumbrances that might affect sale prices.

The case is Lowe’s Home Centers Inc et al., v. Washington County Board of Revision et al., slip opinion 2018-Ohio-1974, in the Supreme Court of Ohio.
