Reappraisal

The effective date of the existing reappraisal was January 1, 2016. The next countywide reappraisal will have an effective date of January 1, 2021. The purpose of a countywide reappraisal is to equalize the tax burden among property owners and all classes of property. The periodic reappraisal of real property equalizes the tax burden by ensuring all real property is assessed at its current, fair market value.
