Appraisers with the Clackamas County Assessment and Taxation Department will be conducting reappraisals of residential properties and lots within the city of Happy Valley, and in the unincorporated areas surrounding the city, starting mid-October. The reappraisals are expected to last six-to-eight weeks, weather permitting.
A map of the properties in the reappraisal area appears below.
The purpose of the reappraisal is to verify that building/land assessments are up-to-date and accurate. In many cases, appraisers will not have to stop at properties, but simply have a look from their vehicles (no action from homeowners is needed).
Altogether, there are around 14,000 properties that our appraisers will look over during the course of the reappraisals.
What appraisers look like
Residents can identify our official county appraisers easily. They:
- drive county cars clearly marked with the county logo,
- work in teams of two,
- wear bright orange vests, and
- have county identification (badges) to identify themselves.
Clackamas County deeply cares about resident privacy and safety. We also deeply care about the safety of our staff, which is why we are promoting this action and our appraisers’ appearances, to ensure the community knows who they are and what’s going on.
