City to Use 40 Percent of Market Value for Assessments
Chief Assessor Benjamin M. Bough announced a uniform assessment ratio of 40 percent of market value to calculate property assessments citywide. He said this will ensure fair, impartial treatment and clearer basis for taxpayers, while not guaranteeing higher tax bills for those with higher last year assessments. The plan depends on total budgets and finalized values and will adjust with future tax requirements.
