What is the difference between assessed value and taxable value?
Taxable value (TV) is the value used to compute your tax bill. Assessed value (SEV) is one half the market value, as determined by the assessor. SEV grows as the market rate of property grows. TV increases are capped to inflation rates for the time that you own the property. In the year following a transfer of ownership, the TV uncaps and will increase to the SEV, which will increase the taxes.
Taxable value (TV) is the value used to compute your tax bill and applies to real property only. “TV” is determined yearly as the LESSER of assessed value (market based as determined by assessor) and capped value. Capped value is the prior year’s taxable value, less taxable value of losses, “capped” by an increase of the lesser of 5% or the rate of inflation, plus assessed value of additions. Taxable value becomes uncapped when property is sold or transferred.
Ans: The Assessed Value of a property is 50% of the estimated “true cash value” that a property potentially will sell for in the open market without any special conditions. The Taxable Value is used for the calculation of property taxes. The millages voted in by local taxpayers are spread over the Taxable Value to determine a tax obligation by the taxpayer. Taxes are used to pay for services and schools within the local and county area. For the specific calculations, you should discuss this with your local Assessor or Treasurer.

Assessed value is 50 percent of market value, while taxable value (used to levy property taxes) is, in most cases, less than that. However, when a property is transferred or sold, the taxable value of a property is “uncapped,” or becomes equal to the assessed value, for the year following the year in which the sale or transfer took place.
