The Montgomery County Auditor’s Office is holding a series of public information sessions at area libraries for property owners concerned about this year’s county-wide revaluation that is expected to lead to historic increases in taxable property values.

More than 180,000 property owners will receive notices in the mail this week with new, proposed values. County Auditor Karl Keith has said residential values are expected to increase an average of 34% countywide, with most property owners seeing a resulting property tax increase of 4-6%.

The impact on different parts of the county will vary widely, though. Some areas are projected to see value increases up to 48%, and taxes in some areas could increase up to 12%.

“The Auditor’s Community Forums will offer attendees an opportunity to understand how property values are determined and provide guidance on what steps to take if they disagree with their tentative value,” says a release from the Montgomery County Auditor’s Office.
