How the City has assessed property in Monroe Ward, 2022–2026.
Of Monroe Ward's $183M in assessed-value growth since 2022, about 45% ($83M) 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 →
