City of Centerville <br /> <br />The 2021 Assessment <br />The 2021 assessment should reflect the 2019/2020 market conditions. Sales of property are <br />constantly analyzed to chart the activity of the marketplace. The Assessing staff does not create <br />value; they only measure its movement. <br />Assessing property values equitably is part science, part judgment and part communication skill. <br />Training as an assessor cannot tell us how to find the "perfect" value of a property, but it does help <br />us consistently produce the same estimate of value for identical properties. This is the working <br />definition of equalization. <br />As of January 2, 2021, there were 1,670 parcel/accounts in the City. This total includes: <br /> 1,376 residential improved parcels <br /> 120 non-taxable parcels <br /> 60 commercial or industrial parcels <br /> 3 apartment parcels <br /> 98 vacant land parcels <br /> 6 personal property account <br /> 0 railroad parcels <br /> 2 agricultural parcels <br /> 5 split use parcels <br /> <br /> <br />Current state law mandates that all property must be re-assessed each year and physically <br />reviewed once every five years. We also inspect all properties with new construction each year. <br />During 2020, 286 existing properties were inspected and 29 new construction parcels for a total <br />of 315 parcels. Permit work was also inspected and valuations adjusted when appropriate. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />
