Could you please explain how newly issued property assessments are higher in a plunging real estate market?

We have understood that the county’s goal is to match market values in its property assessments. We are incredulous that anyone would believe that the assessment figures we have just received from you are anywhere near market-bearable prices.

Do your assessments lag the market? You may wish to explain this in a public address so many others can benefit from your answers.

Thank you,

Paige McCormick
