The Tax Assessor’s Office is responsible for discovering, listing, assessing, and taxing all property citywide in an accurate and fair manner, in accordance with state law. All properties are assessed as of December 31 for the following year’s tax bill.
If you believe that an error has been made in the assessment of your property, you may file an appeal. Appeals must be submitted by November 15 each year, following the first quarterly installment due date for that tax roll year.
Important Reminder
Assessments are based on the fair market value as of the City’s last revaluation.
When preparing an appeal for being over assessed, be sure to compare your property to comparable sales from around the revaluation date, as these sales are what determine market value for assessment purposes.
