Inspections are done annually on properties which require an update due to a physical change or at the discretion of the assessor. These inspections are typically done between September and December.
A five year re-inspection cycle was implemented in 1996 and the first complete cycle was finished in 2000. Approximately 20% of the county or a little over 4,000 parcels are re-inspected each year. These inspections take place throughout the year. Much of this re-inspection is contracted to Southern Evaluation Services.
Based on the market value of properties in the County, the elected Council determines the mill rate and sets the taxation level each year. The current tax rates can be viewed here.
