What is reappraisal? 

Reappraisal is the process of reappraising all real property in the county to current market value as of an effective date. The current reappraisal was completed as of January 1, 2025. 

Why do a reappraisal?

Market conditions are constantly changing. Over time property values change at different rates and in proportion to each other. Reappraisal brings property values back in proportion so that each property owner pays an equitable share of the property tax burden. In addition, state law requires it to be done at least every eight years.

What affects my market value?

Sales of comparable properties in the same local area. Cost to replace structures and improvements. Potential income a property may attain. Location. Property type. Improvement age, size, quality, state-of-repair, construction style, obsolescence and replacement cost.

What if my value is too high?

If you feel that your property value is appraised too high, you can appeal the value to the Assessor's office.

What will my tax bill be for this year? 

The Board of County Commissioners sets the tax rate each year after determining what tax rate is required to provide the necessary yield in tax dollars to pay for the services county government must provide to it’s citizens such as law enforcement, education, solid waste disposal, emergency services, election services, public library services, various social and health services many of which are mandated by state and federal government, services to the aging, recreation, soil conservation, agricultural extension services and other various services. Therefore the new tax rate will be calculated and applied to the valuations established in most recent revaluation project and will be set when the Board of Commissioners finalizes the fiscal year budget in June.
