§ 27421 County Assessor Valuation Estimates

• •The county assessor must give a guess about how much all the property in a local area is worth for taxes next year.
• •Local leaders (but not school districts) can ask for this guess, but they must ask by February 20th.
• •The assessor must send the guess by May 15th.
• •The guess includes all types of property and their total value.

A city council wants to plan next year's budget and needs to know how much money they might get from property taxes.

The city council asks the county assessor by February 20th for a guess on how much all the houses, buildings, and land in the city are worth. The assessor then sends this guess by May 15th so the city can plan their budget.
