Is your assessor responsible for tax increases? No! That's a common myth, and the job of the assessor is often misunderstood. Simply put, your assessor's job is to estimate the value of each real property parcel within a municipality. Their goal is to make sure the market value is fair, so that each taxpayer pays their fair share of the tax burden. The downloadable PDF below further explains the job of the assessor, how an assessor is trained, and who is responsible for changes to your tax rate and levy.
Former Clay County (Missouri) Assessor Cathy Rinehart and former Clay County Collector of Revenue Lydia McEvoy created a short, fantastic video that explains what an assessor is, how property values are determined, and how assessors keep the process fair and equitable.
