Taxable Value
This value is used to calculate your tax bill.

This value increases each year by the inflation rate, but not more than 5%, and not higher than the Assessed Value. The value of new construction is also added.

If a property is transferred to a new owner, the Taxable Value is ‘uncapped’ – made equal to the Assessed Value.
