The law specifically requires that assessors view each parcel of real estate to appraise its market value.
Property values change continuously with changing economic conditions.
In addition to market changes, numerous physical changes affect the value of land and buildings. All factors are considered in estimating the value of property. This requires physical inspection of all property subject to assessment. The assessor also determines the classification or use of each parcel. Each classification is taxed at a different percentage of market value.
