How does assessment impact your property taxes?
Residential property inspections
The International Associate of Assessing Officers (IAAO) recommends that municipalities establish a regular re-inspection cycle for all properties. In Cochrane, we follow a five-year re-inspection cycle.
This is an important process in the collection and maintenance of accurate property data, which assists the Town of Cochrane in preparing accurate, fair, and equitable assessments.
Residential Property Verification forms are sent to property owners during the re-inspection period (July to September). Communities are selected for re-inspection based on the five-year rotating cycle.
If you receive a Residential Property Verification form, we ask that you review your property details and let the assessment department know of any changes. You can provide it through the Residential Property Verification Form.
