What We Do

  • Appraise real and personal property for the purpose of property taxation.
  • Ensure that all land is identified with both a legal description and maps.
  • Describe the physical improvements to the land such as commercial and residential buildings.  These descriptions identify characteristics such as size, age, shape, etc. for each improvement.
  • Maintain taxpayer of record information via various documents such as deeds, transfer affidavits, homestead forms and taxpayer requests.
  • Maintain detailed sales records on vacant and improved properties in the City.  Sales data is typically obtained through recorded deeds received from the County Clerk’s office, or Property Transfer Affidavits.
