City of Centerville <br />The 2010 Assessment <br />The 2009 assessment should be a reflection of the 2009 market conditions. Sales of <br />property are constantly analyzed to chart the activity of the market place. The <br />Assessing staff does not create value; they only measure its movement <br />Assessing property values equitably is part science, part judgment and part <br />communication skill. 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, 2010, there were 1,589 parcel /accounts in the City. That is <br />essentially the same as from 2009. This total includes: <br />• 1,410 residential parcels <br />• 90 non - taxable parcels <br />• 78 commercial and industrial parcels <br />• 2 apartment/nursing hometman. housing parcels <br />• 0 manufactured home accounts <br />• 1 personal property accounts <br />• 0 railroad parcels <br />• 8 agricultural parcels <br />• 0 utility parcels <br />Current state law mandates that all property must be re- assessed each year and <br />physically reviewed once every five years. We also inspect all properties with new <br />construction each year. During 2009 1 reviewed nearly 400 existing properties, in <br />addition, we added new construction to 45 properties (1 house, decks, garages, <br />additions & major remodels). <br />A map illustrating the areas we recently reviewed and those areas to be visited in the <br />tuture is presented on the fallowing page. <br />M <br />
