Building Permits - Continued<br />

9. Will the <strong>City</strong> tell the County Assessor about my<br />

new improvements?<br />

– The <strong>City</strong> is required to send most permit information to the County Assessor’s<br />

<strong>of</strong>fice for any new construction. For example, generally items <strong>of</strong> routine<br />

maintenance such as a rero<strong>of</strong> or water heater are not sent to the Assessor but<br />

additions or new building are sent. Less than half <strong>of</strong> permits result in<br />

additional assessments. Please be aware the County Assessor is required to<br />

value all new construction, even if a building permit was not issued.<br />

10. Will my property taxes go up when the<br />

improvements are completed?<br />

– It is the decision <strong>of</strong> the County Assessor on which improvements may or may<br />

not increase the property taxes after the improvements are completed. It is<br />

possible property taxes may increase; however, this is typically on for what is<br />

considered new construction, and not for permits for maintenance.
