Assessed Values and the Tax Roll in Madras
What a parcel in Madras is taxed on is the business of the County Assessor, which also keeps the parcel maps. Under Measure 50 a property's maximum assessed value can rise no more than 3 percent a year, so the assessed value is usually far below the real market value the assessor also lists.
