How does the City of Salem value my vehicle?

The January J.D. Power guide is used to assess vehicles. When available, the loan value from this book is used, which is the lowest value listed. When no loan value is available a percentage of the manufacturer's suggested retail price is used. If neither of these values can be found, we then use a percentage of the cost. Our personal property tax rate is $3.40 per $100 of the assessed value.
