Assessor

Welcome to the Rockton Township Assessor’s Office!

Your Assessor is Dana Adams and your Deputy Assessor is January Fry. The Assessor’s Office is responsible for valuing all real property within Rockton Township in a just and equitable manner. We also offer assistance with assessment questions, provide assessment records, and answer questions about property information.

INFORMATION ON PROPERTY ASSESSMENTS:

Real property in Rockton Township is assessed at 33 1/3 percent of its fair market value. There are numerous factors involved in valuing property.

We plan to create a FAQs section to help with common questions we receive regarding property valuation. In the meantime, we encourage you Contact Us and we will be happy to address your inquiry. If you are looking for a property card or sketch, feel free to email your request including the address as well the PIN (parcel identification number) if you have it and we will reply in a timely manner.

You can view parcel and assessment details online by using the parcel inquiry website:

PROPERTY ASSESSMENT APPEALS:

If you would like to appeal your property assessment, we encourage you to reach out to us via phone or email prior to filing an appeal. We want to ensure fair and equitable assessments throughout the Township, and we’d be happy to go over your concerns in case there is information we haven’t been made aware of regarding your property. However, if your property information is accurate and you still feel you are incorrectly assessed after our discussion, you can find information regarding the appeal process, forms, and filing deadlines here:

Appeals must be filed within 30 calendar days of the assessment publication date. Assessments are typically published toward the end of July, though dates can change. Please keep an eye on the

for current publication news as July nears.
