Property Assessments – Assessed Value and Appeals
Helpful document to understand what Assessments are and how Properties are Assessed, “For the Property Owner Who Wants to Know”
The assessor shall assess property at its full and true value as of January 1st of the assessment year, except as otherwise provided by law. Each year the assessors visit Cordova between the end of November and the beginning of December. If you’d like to speak with the assessors while they are here, contact the Clerk’s office ahead of time.
The official assessment notices are mailed to the owner of record the first week in March.
If you believe the assessor has overestimated or underestimated the value of your property, notice an error or missing exemption, you can apply for an appeal within 30 days from when your assessment was mailed. After providing evidence as to why your property should be valued differently and speaking with the assessor, if you do not agree with the outcome, you may bring your appeal to the Board of Equalization. The dates for each of these processes can be found on your assessment notice each year. 5.05.04
Property Tax-Roll

Property taxes are also levied on real property in the “rural zone” – 68.23 square miles of land annexed to the City in 1993. In addition to permanent structures, real property includes mobile homes attached to utilities.
The City Clerk prepares and mails tax statements by July 1st of each year. The statements are mailed to the owner of record, as determined by the tax rolls. The tax statement includes the amount, dates when taxes are payable and delinquent, and penalties and interest.
