Jones County 2022 Property Revaluation

What is a Revaluation?

• The process of conducting a mass appraisal of all real estate parcels in the county to create and maintain a fair and equitable tax base.

Why do we conduct revaluations?

• By state law all real property must be reappraised every eight years- Jones County’s last county revaluation was in 2014.

• Over time, real estate values change at different rates, causing inequities in the tax base.

• The revaluation process is designed to adjust all property values back to current market value, creating equity and a fair distribution of the tax burden.

• The primary purpose of the revaluation is to equalize property valves, not to increase tax revenue.

Notices and Appeals:

• Property owners will receive written notice of their new property value during March 2022.

• The notice will contain information about the appeals procedure, should the property owner disagree with the new assessed value.
