Cleveland Akron, OH, October 9, 2026 — The main parcel of the former Notre Dame College campus in South Euclid, Ohio, has been recommended for a return to taxable status by a Cuyahoga County review. This change is slated to take effect on January 1, 2025, following the recent closure of the educational institution.

The recommendation stems from a review conducted by Cuyahoga County officials concerning the property status after Notre Dame College ceased operations. Historically, educational institutions often operate on parcels designated as tax-exempt. However, with the college no longer functioning, county authorities have assessed the property’s eligibility for taxation.

The implications of returning the campus parcel to taxable status include its potential inclusion in the county’s property tax base. This could result in new tax revenue for local government entities and school districts, depending on the assessed value of the property and applicable tax rates. The specific details regarding the property’s valuation and the estimated tax revenue are not yet publicly available.

Notre Dame College, a private liberal arts college, announced its closure earlier this year, marking the end of its 75-year history. The campus, located in South Euclid, a suburb east of Cleveland, has been a significant presence in the community. The future use of the campus and its parcels remains a subject of community interest and official planning.

Further steps in the process would typically involve official confirmation and valuation by the Cuyahoga County Fiscal Office. The contractor responsible for the review or any subsequent redevelopment or sale of the property has not been publicly identified. The timeline for when the property’s taxable status will be officially finalized beyond the January 1, 2025, recommendation is also pending.
