How is my assessed value calculated?

All assessed values are calculated according to State Tax Commission standards. This value is shown as the State Equalized Value or SEV on your tax statement. Assessments are calculated using a mass appraisal technique that takes into account the current cost to replicate your house and then depreciates that cost based on the age of the structure.

This number is then adjusted to market value by comparing the depreciated cost of homes that have sold in your area to their sales price. Each year, the Assessor is required by law to analyze sales within economic neighborhoods using a sales study to adjust that neighborhood so that assessed values are at 50% of market value.
