Responsibilities

The Assessor’s office provides the information necessary to ensure an accurate valuation of properties and equitable distribution of the real estate tax levy, so that all taxpayers pay their fair share of the obligations of the schools, the county and the municipality.

It is the Assessor’s duty to continually process all changes in the status of a property, thereby ensuring that taxes are levied proportionally to all property owners.
