PROPERTY VALUATION ADJUSTMENTS

Auburn property owners: The City of Auburn wants you to know that the Assessing Department is making valuation adjustments that will affect your property value. The difficult decision to increase values is based on several years of high sale prices and the city’s efforts to remain in compliance with state assessing standards and best practices. These changes will go into effect for the 2022 (as of April 1, 2022) tax year.

The following links can help explain these changes and answer your questions.

The application period for the Property Tax Stabilization Program has ended for 2022. Remember to apply again next year to remain enrolled in the program by December 1, 2023.
