You say the properties are assessed at market value. Why doesn’t the assessed value reflect today’s market? Why are current sales not used?
The current assessment reflects the real estate market for a specified time period. As an example, for the 2008 assessment year, the sale period used is from July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007. Any sales occurring after this time frame will be reflected in the following year’s assessment.
