How does the Assessor determine the value on my property?
  • Buyers and sellers in the real estate market establish value.  The Assessor's staff researches the market and collects information about properties to estimate value.
  • The Assessor's Office has no control over tax rates.
  • The Assessor uses standard methods, which utilize the three traditional approaches to value (cost, market, and income), to estimate the fair market value of a given property.
  • It is important to note that the Assessor is simply measuring the information produced in the market to determine the estimated value.  The economic principles of supply and demand, along with the desires of the purchasers and sellers of property, determine fair value.
