How the City has assessed property in Forest View, 2022–2026.
Of Forest View's $33M in assessed-value growth since 2022, about 6% ($2M) is new construction: new buildings and major projects. The rest is the City reassessing existing property at higher values. How we tell construction from reassessment →
