Each spring, the assessor will mail you a Valuation Notice, informing you of the value and classification of your property. If you believe the classification or the estimated market value of your property is incorrect, you have several appeal options.

The first step is to verify that the information your assessor’s office has listed about your property is correct. Most of this information is public and available to you on the Beacon website.

• Verify information about your property, such as its dimensions, age and condition of its structures, etc.
• Review records to determine the market value of similar property in your neighborhood
• Review sales data to find out what similar property in your area is selling for
• Check real estate websites to get an idea of the asking price of local properties

If, after researching your property’s information, you still feel the value or classification is incorrect, the next step is to reach out the assessor's office to discuss your concerns. Please call (507) 725-5801 or
