Assessments To Be Uniform By End Of Year
Frederick City real estate will be assessed at about 86 percent of market value by year end, says Lumen F Norris, supervisor of assessments. After reaching 60 percent, annual changes will not exceed five percent from the 60 percent target, with maps plotting sale prices to guide updates by area or category. Norris cites Monocacy Village’s 30 percent rise as a caution, noting no reassessment since 1951 and half already completed with the rest due by year end.
