Summary
Property owners will get notices of their new assessed values in June and have 40 days to appeal. Tax rates will be adjusted down so governments don't collect more overall, but roughly a third of taxpayers will see bills rise, a third fall, and a third stay flat depending on how their property fared relative to others.

Impact analysis
The reassessment itself is revenue-neutral for governments, but individual tax bills will shift — about a third up, a third down, a third unchanged.
Owners whose property values rose less than the county average will see their tax bills drop.
Owners whose property values rose faster than average will pay more, and those who miss the 40-day appeal window lose their chance to challenge.
