Reassessment FAQ's
What is the purpose of the County's Reassessment Office? | This office is responsible for assessing the market value of all properties within Campbell County, except for properties owned by public service corporations, such as utility companies, rail companies, etc. |
What is Market Value? | The most probable price that a willing and knowledgeable buyer and seller will agree upon, assuming a fair and normal sale with no undue pressure upon either party. |

What does equalization mean? | State law requires that “uniformity” or “equality” of assessments be attained to ensure that the tax burden be distributed fairly. |
What is the cost approach method to arriving at market value? | Involves estimating the cost of improvements and deducting any accrued depreciation and adding the land value. |

Factors such as location, house type, age, condition, size, terrain, heating type, number of baths, basement finish, fireplaces, porches, garages, decks and many others must be considered. For a true comparison, Campbell County strategically places properties/parcels into specific neighborhoods. This ensures they are valued with similar properties within that respective neighborhood/region of the locality. |
How can my value increase when I haven’t added on or renovated the building? | Though not always the case, general economic conditions will influence the value of real estate. |
How often are properties appraised? | Every Four Years |
