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 arrive by the middle of the month. Each property owner receives a notice that includes both market value and assessed value, along with an estimate of the property tax bill.
