Q: WHAT WAS THE DATE OF APPRAISAL FOR THE 1999 REVALUATION?

A: OCTOBER 1ST, 1998.
THE DATE OF APPRAISAL WAS OCTOBER 1ST, 1998 FOR THE OCTOBER 1, 1999 ASSESSMENT YEAR. THE OFFICE OF THE ASSESSOR WILL USE SALES AND MARKET DATA AT LEAST ONE YEAR PRIOR TO THE APPRAISAL DATE AND UP TO ONE YEAR AFTER THE APPRAISAL DATE. AN OCTOBER 1, 1998 APPRAISAL DATE ALLOWS PROPERTY OWNERS MORE TIME TO WORK WITH US IN QUALITY CONTROL OF THE REVALUATION PROCESS BECAUSE IT ALLOWS US TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ACCESS TO DATA FOR YOUR VERIFICATION PRIOR TO FINAL VALUES BEING SET. AN OCTOBER 1, 1998 APPRAISAL DATE WILL ALSO LIMIT THE NEED TO ADJUST VALUES DUE TO UNANTICIPATED REAL ESTATE MARKET CHANGES AT THE TAIL END OF THE REVALUATION.
