Assessor

The Martin County Assessor’s office maintains the property records for all taxing districts. The Property Record cards contain the property characteristics and the assessed value based on Market Value In Use. We also maintain sales information of properties sold for the entire county.

Here, you will find links to many forms, documents and information related to the reassessment, including a link to the property database on the Courthouse Online website. It is the duty of the Assessor’s office to value all properties uniformly and fairly for real estate tax purposes.
