| What Is a Property Tax Assessment? |
| A Property Tax Assessment is based on the market value of your home as determined by your Assessor. The assessment is usually a percentage of your home’s determined value. |
| | |
| Why Do Taxes Go Up Every Year? |
| Your property taxes (assessment) which appear on your tax bill, are multiplied by the tax rate to determine what you pay in taxes. Tax rates generally increase every year, so even if your assessment remains unchanged, your taxes increase. |
| | |
| What Can I Do about This? |
| As a homeowner, you are entitled to file a Tax Grievance. A tax grievance allows your assessment to be reviewed by the Assessor to see if a reduction is warranted. If the Assessor does not reduce your assessment, an appeal can be filed to have an impartial hearing officer determine if your house is overvalued for tax purposes. |
