Reappraisal


Personal property is reappraised every year. Usually these values are established using information submitted by the property owners; if complete and accurate data is not provided, the assessor uses other sources of information to set a reasonable value.

Notices of Valuation are sent on June 15. The Assessor notifies owners of their valuations via a summary Notice of Valuation (NOV) postcard. More detailed information, as well as historical NOV images, can be viewed in the Notice of Valuation Archive.
