A tax assessor is a government official who determines the value of property for taxation purposes.
The assessor examines real estate, and sometimes personal property, to establish its assessed value—the figure used to calculate property taxes owed.
The tax assessor valued the house at $450,000.
In most U.S. jurisdictions, assessors work at the county or municipal level.
