The Assessor's office handles the collection, dissemination, and storage of property characteristics that pertain to valuation. That information is gathered in order to equitably value all real and personal property in the county through analysis of sales and other market conditions. We also calculate the levy amounts allowed by law and calculate and certify tax rates for every parcel in the County.

The office also maintains the County Cadastral Map for assessment purposes.
