The Assessor's Office is to maintain records on all properties within its jurisdiction including:
- Current ownership
- Legal description
- Location of easements
- Property dimensions
- Improvements
- Land use
The Assessor is mandated by state law to establish uniform and equitable assessments to ensure that property owners will contribute only their fair share of the taxes needed to provide the services we enjoy. As properties are sold, market studies are conducted to determine the ratios at which comparable properties are being sold in various neighborhoods throughout the community.
