Summary
The county is switching from a stretched 6-year reappraisal cycle to a 3-year cycle, with the next reval in 2028 instead of 2029. The goal is to avoid the big value jumps property owners saw in 2025 and to protect utility tax revenue. Owners who think their value is unfair can appeal now through the Tax Office.

Impact analysis
A $1.29 million budget amendment funds the software and appraisal work for the 2028 reval.
Property owners get smaller, more gradual value changes instead of six-year sticker shock.
Future boards aren't bound by this resolution, so the cycle could still be stretched again.
