City of Ames 2023 Property Assessments

Given the robustness of the real estate market over the past few years, it's not unexpected to see an upward increase in assessments; however, the magnitude of some of these increases is quite surprising, especially in the City of Ames, which is seeing increases of 20-35% and higher.

Our preliminary investigation in the City of Ames has uncovered several inaccuracies in assessor's square footage calculations, primarily for multi-story properties. We strongly recommend that you verify the accuracy of your home's physical characteristics, particularly the gross living area, as shown on the assessor's website. If any of this information is incorrect, we suggest that you contact the Ames City Assessor's office to have it rectified. Should you require expert assistance with your assessment, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
