The notice provides the classification and the assessed value of your property for the taxation year, as indicated in the upper right of your notice.
Property owners will receive an annual notice each year. If updates are made to the property, you may receive a subsequent amended notice.
The notice provides basic information about your property:
A Property Account Number (PAN) is assigned to your property to identify it for assessment and taxation purposes.
A Parcel Identification Number (PID) is assigned to your property to locate it on maps. If your property consists of more than one PID, we indicate this on your notice by “*multiple”. Some properties may not have an assigned PID (e.g., mobile homes), so the PID will be blank on these notices.
If your property has a lease attached to it, we will indicate in the property profile area the name of the other person(s) or organization on the lease.
The Property Location and Description section of your notice lists the physical address of your property, a description of your property and the local government or rural district.
Your notice will indicate the Real Property Assessment value of your property. This should reflect the price that your property would likely sell for on the open real estate market.
The property assessment information section provides details on this assessment value.
