Assessing - Assessment Administration (continuing
operations)
Maximize your investment in a revaluation by providing for more than just annual “pick ups” in your property assessment program.
Annual Pick-ups - Annual inspection of those properties
that have undergone some form of change (addition, new
construction, demolition, renovation, construction
completed from prior years, etc.). This information is
generally gathered from permits or inventory forms. Our
assessor visits the property and updates the property
record card with new information as it exists on April
1st of the current year. Our services can complement or
supplement in-house staff, and help with surge periods.
Sale Property Verification - Send out written surveys
and requests for inspection to owners of all sold
properties to ensure accurate assessing information as
of the date of sale. This is especially important since
sales properties are used to establish baselines for
assessments of all properties.
Current Use - Review of current use records to ensure proper documentation is on file and the placement in current use meets Department of Revenue Administration (DRA)
assessment review guidelines. Review of new applications
to ensure proper information is submitted and make
recommendations to Town assessing officials. Review of
properties in current use that have sold or on which
construction has occurred to ensure proper calculation
of the qualifying and non qualifying areas, and issue
the correct land use change tax.
Exemptions - Review of current records to ensure proper
documentation is on file and meets the Department of
Revenue Administration assessment review guidelines.
Review of new applications to ensure qualifying
information is submitted and make recommendations to
Town assessing officials.
Defense of Values and Expert Witness - Process abatement
requests at the local level beginning with an inspection
of the property to ensure the physical data is accurate.
After reviewing data submitted with the application,
recommendations are made to Town assessing officials. In
appeals above the local level, we review all pertinent
information and represent the Town as an expert witness
if assessment is found to equitable. If our review shows
that the assessment appears to be incorrect, a
recommendation for correction will be made to the Town
assessing officials.
Timber (Yield) Taxes - Review intents and reports of cut to ensure proper documentation is provided and correct yield tax amounts are assessed.
Map Updating - Making ink changes to the maps as a result of subdivisions, surveys, deeds, etc. Checking the revised maps from the community’s mapping company to ensure that all changes were made correctly.
Please contact us with any questions.
