Home Valuations

Tax Assessments on Homes

It's that time of year. The counties are assessing house values for tax purposes.

County Assessors

The local county tax assessor sites are Douglas County, Sarpy County and Cass County.

How Are Values Determined?

Around here, the assessors adjust valuations based on the sales in the neighborhoods. If purchase prices have trended up, valuations will probably go up. And if they go down, valuations go down. Adjustments are made for improvements done to the houses, too.

What if I Don't Like the Valuation?

You can always protest the valuation. In Douglas County, see the Board of Equalization for the procedures. For Sarpy County, see the Board of Equalization there. Contact Cass County for their Board of Equalization.
