An assessment is the value placed upon your real estate or personal property by the assessor.\u00a0 This value determines what portion of the local property tax levy will be borne by your property.\u00a0 They are based on the amount that a typical purchaser would pay for the property under ordinary circumstances.<\/p>\n
The assessment represents the value of the property as of January 1 of a given year.\u00a0 After the assessment is completed, property owners are sent a notice of assessment.\u00a0 After receiving this notice, owners have a limited period of time to discuss the assessment with the assessor and appeal through the process of Open Book and Board of Review.\u00a0 This is important because the property tax is calculated based on this assessment.\u00a0 (NOTE:\u00a0 the notice will indicate value AND classification.\u00a0 In rural areas the classification can be important because of the different value placed on agricultural land, undeveloped land and forest land.)<\/p>\n
