Tax and Property Information

2010 Notice of Property Valuation and Classification Arriving in Mailboxes This Week

In the past couple of years you have received your Notice of Valuation/Classification and Property Tax Statement together in one envelope. This year we have an opportunity to send you your value notice/classification statement earlier. In the current market we thought that you would appreciate receiving your value notice as early as possible to review and evaluate the information and consider your options.

Note: Your tax statement will be sent to you by March 31st.

Your 2010 Value notice for taxes payable in 2011 is established as of January 2, 2010 (Assessment date). The estimated market value of your property is the value for which your property would likely sell for on the open market. The assessor considers the most current arm's length sales, current market conditions and special factors that may increase or decrease the value of your property.

Please read your valuation notice thoroughly. If you feel your valuation and property classification is correct, it is not necessary to contact the Assessor's Office.
