Assessment and Tax
What We Do
Assessment & Tax is part of Corporate Planning & Financial Services.
Our focus is to prepare property assessments and collect property taxes on behalf of The City. Together, the property assessment and taxation services generate approximately half of The City’s operating revenue, enabling us to make life better every day.
To do this, we:
- Prepare accurate assessments in collaboration with interested parties to ensure fair and equitable distribution of tax responsibility.
- Provide timely, accurate, and reliable collection of tax revenue.
- Serve our customers and explain our services with honesty, respect, and transparency.
