  • The reassessment marks the first citywide property evaluation in two years.
  • Overall residential property values rose by 19%, with 20,000 properties seeing a decrease in taxes.
  • Homeowners can contest their assessments by October 7 through a first-level review or a formal appeal.
  • The city has increased the Homestead Exemption and introduced a tax freeze for low-income residents.
