Property Tax Assessors

Property Tax Assessors are government officials responsible for determining the value of real estate within a given jurisdiction. They assess properties based on factors like size, location, and condition to establish a fair market value. This valuation forms the basis for calculating property taxes, which fund local services such as schools, roads, and public safety. The assessors aim to ensure assessments are equitable and reflect current market conditions. Property owners may contest their assessments if they believe their property's value has been inaccurately determined.
