How is the assessed value determined?
Assessment begins with the cost of the asset, including sales tax, freight and installation, but not including any trade in. This cost basis is generally the same as your tax basis. The assessor applies a depreciation factor to the assets cost and this becomes the assessed value. The depreciation schedule is different from the tax depreciation schedule your tax accountant uses. Our depreciation schedule is based on expected economic life.
