Assessors

The Assessors Office is the city department responsible for appraising all real property at 100% of market value each year. The appraisals are used to calculate the annual real estate tax bill for each property owner in the city. The assessor's office also keeps track of ownership changes, maintains maps of parcel boundaries, updates descriptions of building and property characteristics, keeps track of individuals and properties eligible for exemptions and other forms of property tax relief, and, most importantly, analyzes trends in sales prices, construction costs, and rents to estimate the value of all assessable property. This mission is accomplished very economically -- less than 1/10th the cost of hiring a private appraiser to appraise your property.
