Board of Review (Assessor)

Department in Charge of This Board

We review property assessments. Here's a quick look at our main areas of focus:

6 members
Members are knowledgeable of taxation and property values
Members are appointed by the Mayor with City Commission approval (by February 1)
Members cannot hold other public office or public employment

You'll need to be a taxpayer for at least 5 years to be eligible to sit on this board.

Each term lasts 5 years. There is no term limit, so you can serve an unlimited number of terms.

The Board of Review (Assessors) receives $50.00 for a half-day session and $100.00 for a full-day session.
