Property Re-Assessment Year 2024

Property Assessments take place on a two-year assessment cycle and 2024 is a reassessment year. The City of St. John’s will be issuing assessments to property owners beginning in June 2023. The assessed value of everyone’s property is set as of a “base date.” This ensures that each property within the city is treated uniformly with all properties being assessed as of the same date. The base date for 2024 is January 1, 2022; therefore, the assessment you will receive provides a market value for your property, as of January 1, 2022.

Assessments are conducted by professional, skilled, and experienced assessors working for the City of John’s. Their work is governed by the Assessment Act using a mass-appraisal process. This results in assessments that are accurate in comparison to the market standard and uniform in comparison to similar properties.

If you have questions about your assessment or would like more information on how the value was determined, you can reach out to the Assessment Division at 709-576-8929. Staff are happy to talk with individual property owners about their assessment. To learn more about the assessment process please visit the Property Assessment page on the City of St. John’s website.

There is a formal appeal process for property owners who do not agree with the assessed value of their property. The Assessment Review Court provides an opportunity for an independent review of properties. The deadline for filing appeals for your 2024 Assessment is Aug. 18, 2023. Many times, a formal appeal can be avoided by discussing concerns with staff.
