To arrange a zoom or in person meeting with the assessor, please contact the assessor directly by email or phone to make an appointment. 


Requests for inspection of property should be requested directly through the assessor by email or phone. 


The most accurate record cards are held by the current assessor and can be requested by contacting the assessor directly by email or phone. All property assessment rolls, and property appraisal cards are available for inspection during business hours. Furthermore, record cards can be viewed online at www.BSAonline.com.

2025 Economic Condition Factor Analysis

An Economic Condition Factor (ECF) adjusts the assessor’s use of the state mandated

cost manual to the local market. The State Tax Commission Assessor’s Manual

provides costs in which property characteristics are costed out. County multipliers are

provided by the State Tax Commission and adjusted annually to reflect change in the

market of construction costs found in this Manual bringing the costs to the County level.

ECF’s are then analyzed annually and adjusted by the assessor to further improve

these costs to our local market.
