The Assessor's Office

The Assessor's Office has the statutory authority to assess real property, change assessors' assessments if necessary, and equalize assessments. The office maintains current property ownership, legal descriptions, and homestead and non-homestead exemptions as well as publishing assessment changes made by the Township Assessors.
