Vancouver, WA., 11/16/2007 – The Clark County Department of Assessment and GIS will mail notices of new property values to about 140,000 residential, multi-family and condominium owners this Friday, November 16, 2007. Notices show the assessed value of each property on January 1, 2007. This value is used to calculate 2008 property taxes.
Each notice also contains information on how a property owner can question the value that has been established and provide additional information about the property that may have been missed.
County assessors in Washington are required to annually determine the full (100%) market value of all taxable property in the county and notify property owners of any change.
The 2007 assessed value is based on the sales of homes and properties with similar characteristics and conditions during 2006. Each year, sales data from throughout the county is collected, analyzed and used to bring all assessments to full market value.
Sales information is available on the Web at www.clark.wa.gov/assessor:

• Select the “Sales” tab and press “Go!”
