Added Assessments and Omitted Added Assessments

An improvement to your home will result in increased value of your home and therefore an increase to your property assessment. This will take the form of an added assessment tax bill, which you will receive in the mail at the end of October after the improvement is substantially completed for its intended use. This bill shall be payable on November 1, February 1 and May 1 and then the added assessment amount will be included in your annual tax bill received in June for the new tax year. Therefore, just as you planned ahead for this improvement, you should also plan ahead and set aside funds for the added assessment tax bill.

If you did not receive an Added Assessment Tax bill for work completed in the previous year, you will receive an "Omitted Added" Assessment bill in addition to an "Added Assessment" bill the year following the improvement.

Please note, not scheduling a final inspection for your building permit does not delay the added assessment tax bill.
