The County
Assessor is an appointed
official by the County
Board of Commissioners.
The term is 4 years.
The primary function of
the County Assessor’s
office is to determine
the market value and
classification of all
real property and
certain types of
personal property such
as mobile homes and
cabins on leased
property.
The Assessor
maintains property
records for all taxable
and exempt parcels in
Carlton County. The
information found on
these records is used by
a various number of
public entities such as
Realtors, Appraisers,
and also the County
Auditor to levy taxes.
Information found on the
property record card
include the tax
description, estimated
market value, current
owner, improvement
information and
classification (use)
codes. Most of
the information found on
the property record card
is public and open for
viewing.
The Assessor
also maintains a file
for all the sales of
property in Carlton
County, for about a 3-4
year span. The sales
certificates contain
such information as the
buyer/seller, date of
sale, purchase price,
address, description of
property being sold, and
assessor’s market value
information for two
years. These sales
files are also open to
the public for their
viewing.
Any
information, at this
time, is retrievable by
the land description,
property identification
number (PIN), or current
owner’s name or property
address.
