A county assessor, also known as a county appraiser in some states, is a public official who determines the value of properties for tax purposes.
Regularly evaluating properties throughout the county to calculate property tax obligations
Maintaining records of property ownership, deeds, and other documents related to county properties
Appraising large numbers of properties by collecting descriptions and classifying them by factors like size, quality, and construction type
Reviewing all properties in the county to ensure assessments are uniform and equitable
Assessing new construction between reassessments, often after a site visit and the issuance of a certificate of occupancy
Sending assessment notices to property owners that include information on filing an appeal if they believe their assessed value is unfair or inaccurate
