Property assessment Open Book
Summary
Property owners challenged their assessments, but the board upheld the assessor in every case heard. Homeowners and commercial owners alike must bring strong comparable-sales evidence — and 2025 sales couldn't be used this year because the 2025 reassessment relied on 2024 sales.
