The value determined by the Assessor is the assessed value and is the value indicated on the assessment roll.
When comparing the value of your property with other properties, always compare with the value on the assessment roll or the assessor's property record cards and not the value indicated on the tax statement.

On values determined as of January 1, one does not start to pay taxes until 18 months later.
The "roll back" is the percentage of actual value that is determined by the Director of Revenue and Finance each year on the several classes of property where the total value increase statewide exceeds four percent for each class of property. The percentage so determined by the Director of Revenue and Finance is certified to and applied by the local county auditor to all property in each class affected throughout the state.
