Q: What does a Township Assessor do?
A: An Assessor classifies each piece of property in the Township. This can be residential, commercial, etc. An Assessor also estimates the market value of each piece of property based on current and recent sales of similar property within the Township. The Assessor then publishes the assessed valuation and works with property owners to make any needed corrections.
