Training as an assessor cannot tell us how to find the "perfect' <br /> value of a property, but it does help us consistently produce the same estimate of <br /> value for identical properties. That after all, is the working definition of equalization. <br /> As of January 2, 2019, there were 1,622 parcel/accounts in the City. That is <br /> essentially the same as from 2018. This total includes: <br /> • 1,356 residential parcels <br /> • 96 non-taxable parcels <br /> • 84 commercial and industrial parcels <br /> • 4 apartment/nursing home/man. housing parcels <br /> • 77 vacant land parcels <br /> • 1 personal property account <br /> • 0 railroad parcels <br /> • 4 agricultural parcels <br /> • 8 split use parcels <br /> Current state law mandates that all property must be re-assessed each year and <br /> physically reviewed once every five years.
