“Improvement value” on the Notice of Change in Assessment card means the value of all buildings, porches, decks, patios, pools, attached and detached garages, etc. Improvement value does not mean you have made improvements to your property.
Levy means the tax applied to the total value of land and improvements. It is calculated by dividing the total value by $100 and then multiplied by the tax rate*.
Example: $100,000 land + $200,000 improvements = $300,000 total value
$300,000 divided by $100 multiplied by the tax rate*.
*The tax rate for fiscal year 2023 is $1.18 per $100. The tax rate has not yet been set by City Council for fiscal year 2024; the tax rate will be available on the City Council’s website after all advertised public hearings.
Record high sales and falling inventory have resulted in higher assessed values.
