Changes made to this 2015 assessment from the 2014 assessment were as follows: <br /> All residential buildings were adjusted Countywide based on size/quality(+3-7%). <br /> Adjustments to Centerville City land rates were: <br /> Zone 3 (northside average) +15% <br /> Zone 4 (acreage sites)—+10% <br /> Zone 5 (lakeshore) +10% <br /> Zone 6 (southside avg) -5% <br /> Zone 7 (above avg) -10% <br /> Zone 8 (average townhomes) +48% <br /> Zone 9 (above avg townhomes) -43% *After removal of any remaining obsolescence. <br /> With respect to commercial/industrial parcels, there were no changes made to the land <br /> schedules. <br /> In summary, we saw the overall estimated market value of the City increase by 3.8% for <br /> this 2015 assessment. This is in addition to the 12.8%increase in the City's tax base we <br /> observed for last year. Preliminary indications are, that we have seen the worst of the <br /> fall in real estate values here in Centerville. This turnaround in market values in the City <br /> is due to a further reduction in the number of bank owned properties for sale, as well as <br /> the continued rebound of the real estate market metro wide for this past year. For 2015 <br /> there were only 8 bank/foreclosure sales in the City, a reduction from 18 last year. <br /> Conclusion <br /> As your City Assessor, it is my priority to represent your community with utmost dignity <br /> and respect, and to make every property owner feel as though they are being heard. It is <br /> my hope that through explanation, and discussion, there can be a better understanding. <br /> If there are any questions from members of the City Council or City Staff, or City <br /> Residents, please do not hesitate to call me. I am available to City residents always <br /> during normal business hours and by appointment on evenings and weekends. <br /> In closing, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the City of Centerville for <br /> allowing me the privilege of serving as your City Assessor. I can assure you that I take <br /> the responsibilities of those duties most seriously. <br /> If you or anyone has questions relating to property tax assessment, I would be most <br /> pleased to discuss these issues with you.
