The reassessment wedge (index, Dec 2017 = 100)

Home values move monthly; tax bills move when the assessor catches up. The space between the lines is the catch-up still to come — tax data is ACS, roughly two years behind, and that lag is the point. Where a roll segment appears, named by its release year, it bridges to the median bill on current assessment rolls (AssessorSearch Data Lab, a different instrument, shown only where it agrees with ACS levels).
