Property Tax Assessment Values Across Glenn County, California
When examining property taxes in Glenn County, understanding the distinction between “market value” and “assessed value” is crucial.
The market value is what a willing buyer would pay to a willing seller in an open and competitive market, often influenced by location, property condition, and economic market trends. The Glenn County assessor estimates the market value for tax purposes.
The assessed value is the market value minus any applicable exemptions or limits determined by local laws and offerings. The tax assessed value is the figure used to calculate your property taxes or the amount multiplied by your tax rate to get your tax bill.
Assessment notices are sent in the spring each year and typically reach your mailbox by the middle of May.
Each property owner receives an assessment notice that contains both the market value and assessed value, along with an estimate of your property tax bill. In Glenn County, the median tax bill is $2,135, compared with the national median property tax bill of $2,400 and the national median property tax rate of 1.02%. Tax bills range significantly across the county, from $698 in Elk Creek to $2,325 in Willows. Orland has the highest median home price at $202,641.
