Many counties periodically go through a reappraisal process, during which property values are reviewed and updated. It’s important to understand how these values flow into CRS and why there may be a delay between when you hear about new values and when they appear in our system.
Why values may look different
- When counties first reappraise properties, they release “working” values.
- These values are not final—they can change if property owners appeal.
- Because of this, CRS does not acquire these preliminary numbers.
When CRS receives updated values
- CRS acquires data only after the county certifies the values.
- Certification happens once the appeals process is complete and the county finalizes its records.
- This ensures that the data in CRS is accurate, stable, and reliable for your use.
Why this sometimes takes longer
- In a reappraisal year, counties often experience a high volume of appeals, which slows down the certification process.
- Some counties may be behind schedule for this reason.
In short: While you may hear about new values earlier, CRS will display them only once they are certified by the county to ensure accuracy.
