2023 Reappraisal
The assessment notices are being mailed and we will all start hearing from our property owners.
The process is the same as every reappraisal—an assessment notice was sent to every property owner.
However, since the reappraisal values reflect the market prior to 01/01/2022; there will be some property owners who experience sticker shock. The real estate market in our county experienced an increase in 2020 and 2021 that will be reflected in our appraised values.
A common question we all receive is regarding the estimated taxes that are calculated on the assessment notice. The Department is required to provide the estimate using last year’s mill levies. Of course, last year’s mill levies were determined off of last year’s taxable value. With the increase in market values this cycle the calculation for the 2023 mill levies will consider the increase in taxable value. So until the mill levies are determined none of us can answer the main question every property owner will ask “How will this affect my 2023 tax bill?”
We have scheduled a public meeting in Flathead County. This meeting will provide us the opportunity to educate our property owners on the appraisal process and how the appraised value is used in the property tax calculation. There are also virtual meetings scheduled that can be attended by anyone statewide. The dates and times are available on our website. These meetings should alleviate property owners concerns over the market increases and allow us to answer specific questions.
Anything we can do to help each other, and our property owners, is a win for everyone!
Please feel free to share this email with anyone that will benefit from the information.
