State sets the rate and county appraises the value of the property. So the official who determines the value of the property is a county tax assessor.

Actually, it may be none of the above. The county assessor determines the value of the property to be taxed and the tax collector collects what is due. The various governmental entities within the county, the board of supervisors (or county commissioners), cities and school districts adopt their budgets and the assessor and tax collector crunch the numbers to determine how the burden gets distributed. This normal procedure doesn't work in my state, California, where the determination of the assessed value and tax rate is set by statute and everybody has to fight over what money is in the pot.

The tax assessor determines the assessed value of your property. Various officials, where I live it's county commissioners and school boards, determine the tax rates to be applied. The assessment is then multiplied by the tax rates to determine your property taxes - most likely that's done by computer.

It's done at the county, city or town level in the US, not at the country level. He or she is known as the Tax Assessor. In many jurisdictions they wear two hats, as both Tax Assessor and Tax Collector.
