Real Estate Valuation



As a team of dedicated professionals, we strive to provide equitable and accurate assessments on all real estate. We are committed to providing exceptional customer service and comprehensive real estate information. We will accomplish this through a collaborative effort, with continuous learning, and an emphasis on hard work.

The Office of Real Estate Valuation will be the recognized leader in the field of real estate assessment through the implementation of innovative technology and our commitment to the highest standards of professionalism. As a result, we will support City Council’s vision and have a positive impact on the quality of life for the City of Roanoke.


The Office of Real Estate Valuation (real estate assessor's office) is the city department responsible for appraising all real property at 100% of market value each year. The appraisals are used to calculate the annual real estate tax bill for each property owner in the city. The assessor's office also keeps track of ownership changes, maintains maps of parcel boundaries, updates descriptions of building and property characteristics, keeps track of individuals and properties eligible for exemptions and other forms of property tax relief, and, most importantly, analyzes trends in sales prices, construction costs, and rents to estimate the value of all assessable property. This mission is accomplished very economically -- less than 1/10th the cost of hiring a private appraiser to appraise your property).
