The Tax Assessor is responsible for Property Assessment, Ratio, and Equalized Valuation. The Assessor assesses property according to a standard measure of property, namely the true market value.
The property assessment value is what a buyer would be willing to pay; not the open market value. The assessor only assesses a home if a change occurs or it’s reassessed if the town reassessed.
