The city is doing a full reassessment with GAR Associates at about $7,500 a month next year ($90,000 total), with assessment notices going to all roughly 7,000 property owners March 1. Councilmember Monteverde voiced homeowners' frustration with rising assessments, while the assessor explained the state requires market-value assessments. Tax certiorari costs are running $74,000 against a $50,000 budget.
