The 2025 Inflation Rate Multiplier is: 1.031. 

Property taxes are calculated on the Taxable Value (see line 1 above). The Taxable Value number entered in the "Change from Prior Year 

to Current Year" column, does not indicate a change in your taxes. This number indicates the change in the Taxable Value. 

State Equalized Value (SEV) is the Assessed Value (see line 2 above) multiplied by the Equalization Factor, if any (see line 3 above). 

State Equalized Value must approximate 50% of market value (see line 4 above). 

IF THERE WAS A TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP (see line 5 above) on your property in 2024, your 2025 Taxable Value will be the same 

as your 2025 State Equalized Value. 

IF THERE WAS NOT A TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP on your property in 2024, your 2025 Taxable Value is calculated by multiplying 

your 2024 Taxable Value (see line 

1 above) by 1.031 (Inflation Rate Multiplier for the current year). 

Physical changes in your property 

may also increase or decrease your Taxable Value. Your 2025 Taxable Value cannot be higher than your 2025 State Equalized Value. 

March Board of Review Appeal Information:
