What is reassessment?
Reassessment is the process by which the assessed value of real estate property held by citizens, businesses, and industries in the County is revised to reflect fair market value. Adjustments in value are necessary to reflect the current real estate market in order to more equitably distribute the tax burden among the citizens of Augusta County. Reassessment is mandated by law and the last (and now current) reassessment was effective January 1, 2019. The next reassessment will be effective January 1, 2024.
