Market Value
The Assessor is charged with assessing all properties at their market value. A simple definition of market value is the price a property would bring when offered for sale by a person who is willing but not obligated to sell, and is bought by a person who is willing to purchase though is not forced to do so.

The State Tax Commission (STC) requires our office to perform quarterly evaluations of our sales to determine how our values relate to sales occurring in the marketplace. The STC also does their own ratio studies to determine if our assessments are within statutory guidelines.
