Assessor reports 5.5% countywide increase in values; informal hearings underway
Summary
The county assessor told the board that overall assessed values rose about 5.5% with spatial variation across the county; notices went out April 1 and informal appeals are being processed through May 1, with about 22 appeals submitted so far.
The assessor's office updated the board on the current assessment cycle and system improvements. "Overall, the county went up about 5.5%. That's a total number to a total number," the assessor said, and explained new land‑model stratification and camera systems are improving the data used to set values. Notices were mailed April 1 and the assessor reported about 22 informal appeals received as of the meeting; most were residential and related to data or calculation errors, while two commercial appeals were handled without value changes.
The assessor said informal hearings continue through May 1 and that the board of equalization process would follow for appeals that cannot be resolved informally. Staff also noted a vacancy in the chief assessor position and that recruitment is underway.
