What is the role of the Department of Revenue in the revaluation process?
The assessment roll as established by the assessors is audited by the State Department of Revenue (DOR) with respect to whether the assessed values reflect values at the current market rates. The same roll is also audited to ensure that there is equity in the values established (i.e. like properties similarly valued). If the assessment roll is not approved (or certified) by the Department of Revenue, then the city cannot proceed in setting its tax rate.
