Monroe reviews property values
Monroe County has partnered with Tyler Technologies to conduct a comprehensive, countywide property reassessment. This initiative follows the County’s previous reassessment implemented in 2020. The multi-year project includes data collection, verification, assessment of property values, and opportunities for property owners to appeal their new assessments.
The cost of the project is $2 million.
The reassessment is scheduled to be completed by 2028.
As part of this effort, Monroe County Assessment staff will be conducting in-person data collection throughout the county.
Field assessors will be easily identifiable by their Monroe County-issued polo shirts and official photo ID badges. Assessors will knock on doors to identify themselves if someone is home and explain the purpose of their visit. They will measure the exterior of properties only and will never request to enter a home.
Assessment fieldwork will only take place Monday through Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. When an adult is available, assessors may ask brief questions about the property, such as:
• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
• Type of heating and cooling systems
• Year the home was built
• Construction materials and physical condition
• Finishing level of attics and basements
Assessors will also take exterior photos of any structures on the property using a smartphone or camera to support accurate property identification and valuation.
Property owners can expect to receive data mailer postcards with QR codes in November. These cards will provide instructions for reviewing and updating your property’s data online.
If any individual claims to be a field assessor and attempts to enter a residence, residents are urged to contact local law enforcement immediately. Suspicious activity can also be reported to the Monroe County Assessment Office at 570-517-3133.
