The county assessor (the county tax office, often called Tax Administration) values all property in the county. Cities do not set their own values; they use the county's. Appeals go to the county Board of Equalization and Review, then to the state Property Tax Commission. Find your county for contact details, local tax figures and a step-by-step guide.
