The California Board of Equalization said Tuesday that assessed property values in the capital region jumped an average 6.3 percent to $248.2 billion. The region includes Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado, Sutter and Yolo counties.
The assessments include commercial and residential property.

The higher values may also mean increased property taxes for some homeowners.

The assessed property values increased in the Central Valley. The increase was 8.9 percent in the northern San Joaquin Valley (Madera, Mariposa, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus and Tuolumne counties.
