Local Assessment Office

A Local Assessment Office is a government office responsible for determining the value of properties within a specific area for tax purposes. It assesses residential, commercial, and industrial properties to establish their worth, which helps calculate property taxes. The office ensures that property values are fair and consistent, conducting evaluations based on market trends, property conditions, and local regulations. Residents can often contact the office for questions about their property assessments, appeals, or to understand the property tax process in their municipality.
