County assessor staff reported certified values for 2025 and a heavy appeals season: school taxable assessed value was reported as $949,877,222, local government assessed value $903,433,230; staff handled 243 appeals with 177 adjustments, totaling about $23.3 million in adjustments.
County assessor staff presented the annual Board of Equalization report, detailing assessed and actual values and the season’s appeals. Janie (assessor office) said the school taxable assessed value is $949,877,222 while the local government assessed value is $903,433,230; the final certified actual value for 2025 was reported as $911,879,410.
Janie told commissioners the assessor’s office received 243 appeals this year—residential, commercial and personal property—and adjusted 177 accounts while denying 66, producing roughly $23,347,333 in total adjustments. "We did receive 243 appeals…we made adjustments to 177, and 66 were denied," Janie reported. Commissioners discussed the winding down of a qualified senior-exemption program and the set of changes that will affect some taxpayers in 2027. The board did not take formal action on the presentation; the report was received for the record.
